Emotional pain in the body" refers to the physical sensations people can experience as a result of unprocessed emotional distress, often manifesting as muscle tension, headaches, stomach aches, fatigue, or other bodily discomfort, essentially meaning the body physically reflects the psychological pain someone is feeling. Prolonged emotional stress can lead to more severe physical issues like cardiovascular problems, weakened immune system, and digestive disorders.
Consider the following ways to heal.

Mindfulness practices:
Meditation, deep breathing exercises, and body scans can help become aware of physical sensations linked to emotions and learn to manage them.

Therapy:
Talking to a therapist can help process emotions and develop coping mechanisms to address the root causes of emotional pain.

Physical activity:
Exercise can be a healthy outlet for releasing tension and improving overall well-being.

Stress management techniques:
Relaxation techniques like progressive muscle relaxation or visualization can help reduce physical tension.

Once you learn your triggers, you can become aware of how the sensation appears in your nervous system and then work to reduce the reaction to the emotional response… our emotions are our indicators, use the information your body is giving you💞
