It seems like everywhere you go, the pressure is getting turned up, leaving many feeling completely overwhelmed. For some, managing emotions can become so intense that it can begin to feel unbearable. At the least, your mind races, stomach in knots, heart palpitating, and body on fire. You become disconnected from nature and loved ones. You lose motivation to do the activities you love and your quality of life diminishes as your world starts to shrink. It can be a lonely and scary road to travel with serious consequences.

Why is this happening?

At the heart of it, the challenge is that humans lack the emotional intelligence to navigate the complexities of the world. Your body and brain tend to defend you against feeling difficult emotions. When you cover your emotions rather than engage them, you end up with depression and anxiety. Most people aren’t taught how to identify and manage difficult emotions or most importantly how to get to the root of the issues that cause the problems in the first place.

If this sounds like you, here are six things to keep in mind on your healing journey:

  1. You Can’t Do It Wrong: Getting help is a deeply personal process. Whether you choose to work with a hypnotherapist, traditional therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, coach, or shaman, take your time and interview several different people to find the right fit.

  2. Things Only Present Themselves When They Are Ready To Be Healed: Whatever issues arise now is your body’s way of telling you it’s time to address it. 

  3. You Either Have To Heal It Or You Have To Normalize It: Learn and understand your individual and family dynamics. A trained professional can help you see the patterns and their impact on your life. From there, you can consciously choose to change the pattern or not. 

  4. Be Curious: Understand that you don’t do things for no reason. Ask yourself what your experience is trying to teach you.

  5. Forget Everything You Think You Know: We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

  6. MOST IMPORTANTLY - Be gentle with yourself. Whether you’re reaching out for support for the first time, are seasoned in personal development, or know someone suffering from emotional distress, remember compassion.

The more you can engage your emotions rather than cover them the better you will feel and the better your life and your relationships will be. If you have any questions along the way, please reach out. 

Much love,
