When we push away our emotions, we often think we’re protecting ourselves, but our bodies have a way of revealing what we hide. Symptoms like fatigue, pain, or stress can signal unresolved feelings that need attention. While we may think compartmentalizing is helpful, it has a shelf life. Prolonged containment only creates internalization and that leads to much bigger problems. The body will express what the mind tries to forget which is why behavior speaks louder than words.
It’s crucial to embrace and process our emotions rather than ignore them. Healing starts when we acknowledge what we feel. It may feel hard to do so, but prolonging the inevitable makes it harder. As humans the most in control we can be is when we face the challenges, lean into our feelings, and use them as guides to answer the questions. Create space for your emotions and listen to what your body is trying to tell you.
