Releasing Suppressed Emotions
Healing begins when
we stop pretending we're okay
Sometimes, we’re not
really okay—we’ve just gotten used to saying we are.
We’re not truly calm—we’re just afraid of what might happen if we get angry.
We don’t want to avoid our tears—we just don’t know when it’s finally safe to
cry.
Emotions are not
the problem—suppressing them is.
I used to be someone
who “seemed fine” all the time.
I was good at being understanding, saying “I’m okay,” and pushing through.
Until one day, after a casual gathering, I broke down and cried—hard.
I didn’t even know why. But my body did.
All the sadness and frustration I had stored inside just overflowed.
That moment changed
me.
I began to realize: Emotions are not chaos—they’re communication.
They are the compass pointing us back to our inner truth.
Gentle practice: A
“Body Scan” for Emotion
Find a quiet moment.
Close your eyes and slowly scan your body from head to toe.
Ask: “What emotions are living here?”
You might notice tightness in your chest, heaviness on your shoulders, a
sinking feeling in your stomach.
You don’t need to fix them. Just gently say: “I see you.”
What is seen, begins
to move.
