Feelings are never just feelings.

They are always connected to circumstances, events and people.

And when we try and push them down or deny their presence what happens to them? To us?

Did you know there is an 80% overlap between our emotional body and our physical body?

If we push our feelings down because they are making us uncomfortable or it is safer for us to suppress them… they get pushed into our body, into our organs, our muscles and joints, etc….

And they stay alive!

When we do this, usually it’s for good reason. We may have learned to this as a child or we may have done this in a traumatic event.

And unfortunately this becomes a patterned way of being within one’s nervous system, psychology and with specific dynamics that get recreated in relationships.

So what happens to these buried feelings?

It adversely affects our mind, body and spirit.

Some people will be more susceptible to having things manifest in their physical body. For others, it will more obviously affect their mental health. But all parts of the being will be affect… because we are that interconnected!

And so, buried feelings stay alive as:

Psychosomatic illnesses
Autoimmune disorders
Depression
Chronic pain
Anxiety
Digestive Issues
Cancer
Low motivation
Endocrine imbalances
Changes to ones sexual libido
Brain fog
Weight gain
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Skin issues

And the list goes on and on and on….

And I do want to say - not everything stems from trauma or repressed emotions. Not everything… but many things do.

Honestly I’ll tell you, for the longest time one area I was super stuck and blocked around was doing social media. I found it incredibly scary. The thought of sharing a photo and some words - felt like I was sending a part of me out into the internet ethers to risk being judged and criticized. The conditions of social media triggered old themes in my life that were connected to very early traumas.

So I chose to hide and not share myself or my life. And would sometimes go years between posts!

Well, after getting into trauma resolution work and tending so these old themes and core traumatic woundings… I am finally turning towards social media and doing it one tiny step at a time.

It doesn’t feel as scary. In fact sometimes it feels good and exciting… and other times I can still feel a bit of overwhelm.

But the truth is I want this. I have a unique history that put me on a path that is very different from others. And along the way I have grown and healed, and have deep wisdom inside that wants to be shared with the world.

So here I am. Finding my way, figuring out how I want to show up and do social media… being curious and open to discovering my voice in this particular setting.

And I’m doing it in a trauma informed way. Turning towards the block and doing one tiny, small doable step at a time. And then taking a pause.

So as usual, I’m curious about you.

What is one area you are feeling stuck and blocked around? And what is 1 a tiny, doable step forward?

Stuck and blocked... Its unpleasant, and when you're feeling this way it is simultaneously occurring on all levels of your being - physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually.

People talk about 'energy blocks', its actually become quite a common descriptor these days... but what does that mean? Like what actually is the block???
And how did it get created?

If you ask people they may have a vague idea. But really most people can't actually pin point what exactly it is for them.

This is normal and is for good reason...

Stuck, blocked or trapped 'energy' derives from unresolved traumatic experiences or intense challenges, and usually the block gets created from multiple events that compound upon each other as life goes on.

Traumatic or intense events - if unresolved - stays alive in the body through the nervous system, organs, tissues & joints... And yes, the nervous system is connected to the brain! so it is going to affect one's psychology.

When we are able to turn towards and tend to the parts of us that are holding the trauma, we can begin the process of metabolizing the stuck and trapped energy.

When our nervous systems prepare us to meet danger, they shift into highly energized states. When the energy of this highly activated state does not deactivate, the organism concludes that it is still in danger.

The nervous system compensates by setting off a chain of adaptations that eventually bind and organize the energy into "symptoms”.

The first symptoms of trauma usually appear shortly after the event that endangered them. Others will develop over time.

Generally, some traumatic symptoms are more likely to appear sooner than others, such as:

• constriction
• dissociation (including denial)
• feelings of helplessness

Other early symptoms that begin to show up at the same time or shortly after those above are:

• hypervigilance (being "on guard" at all times)
• intrusive imagery or flashbacks
• extreme sensitivity to light and sound
• exaggerated emotional and startle responses
• nightmares and night terrors
• abrupt mood swings: rage, temper tantrums, shame
• reduced ability to deal with stress (easily and frequently stressed out)
• difficulty sleeping

Symptoms that generally show up in the next phase of development generally include:

• panic attacks, anxiety, and phobias
• mental "blankness" or "spaciness"
• exaggerated startle response
• extreme sensitivity to light and sound
• hyperactivity
• avoiding certain circumstances
• frequent crying
• abrupt mood swings: rage, temper tantrums, shame
• exaggerated or diminished sexual activity
• inability to love, nurture, or bond with others
• easily and frequently stressed out
• difficulty with sleep

The final group of symptoms are those that generally take longer to develop:

• muted or diminished emotional responses
• inability to make commitments
• chronic fatigue or very low physical energy
• immune system problems and certain endocrine problems
• psychosomatic illnesses
• depression, feelings of impending doom
• feelings of detachment, alienation, and isolation
• diminished interest in life
• chronic pain
• amnesia and forgetfulness
• reduced ability to deal with stress and to formulate plans
