This could possibly be the BIGGEST MISSING LINK in your healing.
In Episode 7 on Limiting Beliefs we briefly mentioned the role of emotions in health.
In this Episode we deep dive into this topic.
Loretta talks us through the physiological response in our bodies if we don't feel ALL our feelings. It might shock you……………...
We all have negative and positive feelings, but we have not been encouraged to feel all our feelings, in fact, quite the opposite.
As children we are often shown and taught that negative or strong emotions are wrong. For example, parents disapprove of children expressing emotions.
The focus on the power of positive thinking has many of us believing that it is not okay to have a bad mood or a negative thought or feeling.
In general, we have been socialised and conditioned to not feel what are perceived as "negative" feelings, so when they come up, we tend to block them out, change them or push them down.
Loretta explains that when these emotions get pushed down it is like storing garbage in our bodies and if you have garbage in your body day after day, and year after year, your body will break down over time.
Feeling your feelings will not kill you, but if they stay trapped in the body in the long term, they may.
AND - False positivity and pretend joy can have negative effects on our health.
We cannot shoot for only one side of the emotional spectrum and ignore the other if we want to be well (physically and mentally).
The more we feel our feelings, the less anxiety and therefore the less fight and flight response in the body. Feeling ALL our emotions activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system.
In order to keep our immune system strong, we need to feel our feelings.
We discuss how we use all kinds of strategies to avoid feeling our feelings, but sooner or later they show up in our bodies as signs and symptoms. These signs and symptoms show us the possibility that we are suppressing emotions.
Loretta talks us trough a tool to surf the waves of emotion.
It takes time and practice to be able to work with emotions, but it has a hugely positive pay off on our physical and mental health.
We will be exploring this topic in a lot more depth, so watch out for future Episodes.
