The deep wounds
Painful or even traumatic events are part of our lives: the untimely death of a loved one, a serious breakup or divorce, violence, illness, financial loss, and more. Such events severely affect your life and even leave deep negative impressions on your subconscious. These stressful emotions need to be resolved sooner than later before they become a physical issue as well.
Over and over again
When I interact with many of my clients their first reaction is that they have fully dealt with these emotions, but on closer examination, that’s not always the case. I’ve found that even those past experiences that we have dealt with repeatedly can still arise from time to time. Thus knowing how to become wiser at identifying them and learning how to deal with them appropriately are vitally important, even when it’s an issue we feel we have already resolved.
Periodic review essential
Reviewing your experiences that provoke stressful emotions within (things like humiliation, sorrow, or fear) is essential to deal with them effectively. Take a few minutes to think of the answers to the questions given below to really feel the emotions the related experiences bring up:
What are some of your own traumatic life experiences?
How did you feel at the time?
Do you as a result of these past experiences carry any heavy emotional baggage with you?
Do you ever notice them getting triggered by unconnected events in your present life?
Do you have a tendency to curb these emotions in an attempt to avoid them?
Interrogate to identify
It’s important to identify and give words to the feelings, as this will make it easier for you to release them. You have to be more specific rather than generalizing. I feel “unhappy” is good but it is also very general. Go deeper and see what other feelings are there: guilt, shame, remorse, fear, betrayal, powerlessness, abuse, attack, sadness, and grief are all examples of words that can help you identify and be conscious of and releasing feelings, as they arise in the present moment. This is what will, over time, lead to the clearing of emotions deeply grooved.
Afterthought
Load-shading these emotions will lighten you up, and you will find yourself experiencing more joy in your life as a result. The important point here is that as you start to tackle your emotions rather than ignore them, you get hold of the real you. Ignoring and suppressing your emotions doesn’t make them go away.
