Emotion = energy in motion. When we trap emotion, trying to suppress it, the feelings grow bigger and bigger as they try to get your attention. Over years the emotion grows in your body, as more pressure is needed to keep it from bubbling up. Until you feel your anger, if you let it out, will consume the world. Until you feel your grief will drown you. Until you fear your shame will confirm your worst fears that you’re not enough or a bad person. Emotion is meant to be in motion. Felt and released, not trapped and stored.
