Learning How To Release Emotion

By Deborah Moore


Everyone needs to show their emotions from time to time. It is only natural to become angry, anxious, fearful or upset. However, there are people who don't know how to release emotion and to express this. They will simply bottle this up inside and repress it. It is obviously unhealthy to be walking around like this.

When you are angry, for example, you will tell someone how you feel. You would have got a great deal off your chest. It is no longer brewing up inside. Hopefully you would have come to a solution. You can now go on with your life. However, for a person who is angry about the same problem, they will not go about it in the same way. As a result, they will deal with this in other ways.

When your father is distant and your mother shows you love in the form of materialism, it can be difficult to know how to show emotions. You can be overwhelmed and it is not easy to know where to start. It can interfere with the way in which you relate to other people. You will struggle with relationships. It may also interfere with your work performance.

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.

A person like this will struggle to express themselves because it is not something that they are used to doing. However, there are many ways of doing this. A therapist may feel the best way forward is to be more practical. This can include role play or art therapy. Other therapists will encourage the patient to talk without pushing them.

Of course, therapy can be challenging. However, one also has to ask themselves whether they want to get to the next level where they are able to go through life learning to love themselves and others. Therapy can be hard work and when you make the effort, you will find that it can be extremely helpful, especially when you have a good relationship with the therapist.
