What Happens When You Don't Know How To Release Emotion

By Deborah Moore


Without expressing emotions with one another, people begin to experience psychological issues. Often, this can happen because of the way a person has been brought up or because of what they have been taught. It is unhealthy to repress these feelings. This is why one needs to learn how to release emotion in any form.

A lot of people become depressed, anxious, shameful or angry. However, they remember what their parents have told them. Parents tell children to stay strong. They tell boys not to cry and to be a big boy. This will have a negative impact on them as they grow up. They believe that men are not supposed to show their feelings.

Often, they will turn to alcohol. This may be their way of dealing with their anger. However, other people will continue to simply carry a lot of these feelings around like a burden. They become heavy in doing so. It is a heavy weight to carry around with you. There may be people who find an outlet which can come in the form of a creative activity.

The first thing that you need to do is to love and accept yourself. Children who grew up not being able to express themselves, did not know a lot about love. When you don't know about self love and acceptance, it is difficult to feel anything towards others. This can sometimes be overwhelming, and it takes time to go through the process.

People who struggle with feelings and carry them around on their shoulders will struggle with psychological issues, but they will often struggle with psychosomatic disorders as well. It can relate to aches and pains or nausea. Some people will have a lot of stomach aches or headaches. This can continue for many years until you deal with the underlying issue.

As they mature into an adult, they will still find that there are certain things that can cause flashbacks. Triggers will set them off. When this happens, they will begin to feel fearful or panic. One feels numb or trapped. Therapy will help someone like this. At first, expressing your feelings is not easy. After all, this is not something that you have done before.

However, there are various techniques that therapists use. This can even relate to art and creative therapy. The process is slow, but over time, the individual will learn how to process this and to get rid of the toxic energy which has filled them in a negative way all of their lives.

It is necessary to be more practical about helping someone like this. They will typically be negative about themselves. They need to love themselves, first and foremost in order to love others. They also need to recognize what the problem was and how it affected their lives. When they can begin to accept themselves, then they will begin to be more positive about life and those around them. This is part of the process. Relationships will improve as will their overall lifestyle.
