When we haven’t had a chance to develop or mature in our relationship with our emotions, we tend to feel overwhelmed, lost, frustrated and ultimately, tired by life.
This can happen from our upbringing (perhaps our parents didn’t model ideal ways to relate to emotions), this can happen from having experienced trauma (whether we realize it’s trauma or not), or as I prefer to say, any unprocessed event or experience can cause a disruption in our emotional body. This all affects how we relate to our emotions.
Because emotions can be so volatile and are affected by many many elements, attaching or focusing on them is not ideal until you have done the inner work. They can then begin to become a signpost to experience a better reality.
This is hard for many to do, especially if we have had a difficult past. And it’s also a bit harder for women, as we are and meant to be emotional beings.
This is not to say that repression or detachment is the answer. Rather, it’s an invitation to look at putting in the effort to learn how to relate to your own emotions. Take the time and ask yourself whether if you actually are comfortable with your emotions and you aren’t controlled but them.
Or whether you are overwhelmed by your emotions, tired/frustrated by your emotions, or if you regularly drink/take or smoke any drugs to better manage your emotions. Answering yes to any of these is an indication that it may be worthwhile to explore how you relate to your emotions. To yourself.
You can do this by doing inner work with a therapist, hypnotherapy sessions with any one of from , or joining in a silent meditation retreat like where you learn to sit with your emotions without responding to them.
And then you can watch how much more space you have in your life, more energy, more joy.
