There is many different ways on how to express our emotions and it is so important to do so.
Not only for yourself because it is freeing to allow your emotions to come to the surface. That way you can deal with them.
It is also good for your environment to show your emotions, then they know how to 'handle' you. (the work place is of course en exemption to that. In the workplace we always have to 'function' 100 %.).
Unfortunately in today's society very often we are not allowed to fully express them. I am sure many of you are familiar with the saying, 'Boys don't cry', 'Stop winging', 'Don't be such a wuss', 'Don't throw such a tantrum' and the list goes on.
You may have stopped already in your childhood to fully express your emotions. Because if you did, you might have gotten into trouble, you might have been shamed for tears that you shed or for any other reason.
A kind of protection mechanism kicked in and stopped you from showing emotions only to keep you safe.
As a result you have bottled up all your emotions inside and carry them around with you all your life.
They weigh you down. They make you feel worthless. They rob you of a lot, if not all your energy. They hinder you to connect with loved ones. They hinder you from expressing your feelings. They make you seem cold, uninterested, rude ...
Do you get it?
Can you see how damaging it is, not to allow yourself to listen to your heart, and instead keep listening to your mind?
I know from working with clients that there is many of you who cannot even get in touch with your emotions anymore at all. You have buried them so deep down that you have blocked out times in your childhood where you were hurt.
To free yourself from that burden, it helps already to just talk about it. And with baby steps we can work together for you to become awareness of why you are function the way you do.
The answer is in gaining awareness. Because then we can talk about it, process what has been happening, I will get you to feel into it and as a result you will be able to free yourself.
How would you like to free yourself from past negative emotions that are holding you back?
