Feel it to heal it
Dealing with emotions - pushing them down, denying them & "just keeping busy" will only serve the moment. As time goes on, if we do not give ourselves the opportunity to feel whatever is going on for us, then these feelings can become toxic - presenting a risk to our moods, behaviours, mental & physical health.
Unprocessed emotions will still try to escape from us - They are trapped after all! Negative stored emotions can come out in all sorts of ways such as irritability, anxiety, depression, paranoia, stress, binging, self abuse through substance & behavioural "coping" rituals (developing addiction) and paranoia to name but a few.
When we give ourselves the space and permission to feel, we do so consciously. It is a way of acknowleding that we are human to feel these things and deserve the time to process them.
We can process things alone or in the company of a loved one that we trust or a therapist.
It is time to stop denying our own feelings and emotions, to park the ego & childhood messages of "keep a stiff upper lip" & "big boys dont cry".
You really have to feel it to heal it!
Reach out & start addressing those things that have happened and are still hurting you.
You've got this!
