✨⬇️By now, the correlation between repressed emotions, childhood trauma, and chronic illness/pain is a well researched and documented phenomena.
"Repressed emotions refer to emotions that you unconsciously avoid.
If showing your feelings in childhood led to distressing or painful outcomes, you probably learned it was much safer to avoid this entirely.
As an adult, you might continue to bury strong emotions without realizing what you’re doing. You might also notice you tend to push even the emotions you do notice aside.
Adults with repressed emotions often feel out of touch or disconnected from their feelings because they had a different childhood experience.
For example, you might be more likely to repress emotions if your caregivers:
•rarely showed emotion or talked about their feelings
•shamed or punished you for expressing your emotions
•told you your emotions were wrong or denied your experience
For the most part, people tend to repress strong emotions, especially those associated with discomfort or other unpleasant experiences.
This includes emotions like:
•anger
•frustration
•sadness
•fear
•disappointment
Notice a pattern?
These emotions are often described as negative. It’s common to repress emotions you consider “bad” or believe other people might judge you for expressing.
But research has linked emotional repression to decreased immune system function which leads to chronic illness, auto-immune conditions and chronic pain.
Repressed emotions can also factor into mental health conditions, such as stress, anxiety, and depression." -Healthline, 2020
