Join Keith and Latisha, Thursday, February 12th at 7p (EST) as they discuss the SUPPRESSION of emotions and verbalizing our feelings for the sake of PEACE.
When we think of emotions, we usually have in mind the active and outward expression of emotional energy. We equate sadness with crying, anger with ranting, fear with trembling, happiness with smiling, joy with laughing. We consider such external manifestations of emotional energy as the emotions themselves.
We call the person “emotional” who allows the visible or auditory display, or expression, of their emotional energy. Why are we intimidated by their emotional energy?
When we are denying our feelings, our partners probably get tense because our faces register our feelings... we say one thing but they see another. Suppression reduces the expression but not the experience of emotions hence the discrepancy between a person’s inner feelings and their outward behavior.
The suppression of your emotion(s) will likely shut down communication and once communication has ceased the problem exacerbates, becoming more difficult to be resolved. It is likely to fester only to be raised at a later time...unnecessary recycled regression! Do you find yourself keeping your emotions hidden for the sake of peace? Do you know that the very breath that we suppress CAN also set us FREE?
