#11 Releasing Inner Emotion: How to Let Go Safely and Regain Control | Recovery Secrets Series

Host: Brad Schipke • Overcoming PTSD PodcastRecovery Secrets Daily Coaching

In this episode, Brad and Kayleen reveal one of the most foundational skills for trauma recovery — learning how to safely release the emotional pressure that’s been trapped inside for years.

If you’ve ever felt like your emotions are bottled up, heavy, or “too much to handle,” this session will show you how to let them out safely, intentionally, and under control — not in chaos or reactivity.

Using the now-famous “shaken soda bottle” analogy, Brad and Kayleen explain how emotions build up pressure internally, why simply “venting” or “exploding” doesn’t help, and how to gradually release emotions without losing control.

This is one of the core tools that makes deeper trauma processing possible — and it’s the step most people miss when they get stuck.

💡 What You’ll Learn

  • The soda bottle analogy for understanding emotional buildup
  • How to release emotions without being overwhelmed or reactive
  • The connection between body tension and emotional pressure
  • Why awareness of where emotions live in your body is the first step
  • How to safely “crack the cap” and release emotion little by little
  • The importance of self-talk and safety tools during emotional release
  • What beliefs and judgments stop people from expressing emotion
  • Why releasing is a skill you build over time, not a one-time event
  • 🧠 Key Takeaway

    Releasing emotion isn’t losing control — it’s regaining it.
    When you can feel safely, your body and brain can finally process trauma instead of suppressing it.
