If you have been stuck in the same feelings for years and cannot even explain why, comment “Consult” and I will send you the link.
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist, discovered that the physiological lifespan of an emotion is 90 seconds. A wave of chemistry moves through the body, and then it passes.
What comes after those 90 seconds is not the emotion. It is the thought you had about it, the memory it triggered, the meaning you assigned to it, the identity you slowly built around it.
“I am an angry person.” “I always feel this way.” “This is just who I am.”
That is what keeps people stuck for years, sometimes decades, inside a feeling that biologically lasted less than two minutes.
When I sit with someone in a session and they tell me they have been anxious, or sad, or angry their whole life, this is always where we start. With everything the mind quietly built around it over time. And once you understand where that story came from, things begin to move.
