Healing the “Suppressed Voice”
Have you often
swallowed your words? Afraid to express your true feelings—for fear of hurting
others, being misunderstood, or not being accepted?
Many of us grew up
with the trauma of “expression suppression.” In childhood, expressing our
feelings often resulted in blame, shame, punishment, or worse—being ignored.
So, we learned to be quiet. To stay safe. To “not cause trouble.” To believe
that staying calm is a sign of maturity.
But that suppression
never really went away.
It turned into
tightness in the throat, heaviness in the chest, long-stored emotions, and a
lingering sense of being alone with ourselves.
In this chapter, we
invite you to return to your authentic voice.
A True Experience ·
Shared by a Healer
“As a child, I loved
singing. But every time I opened my mouth, my father would say, ‘Stop making
noise!’ Over time, I began to believe my voice wasn’t good enough. I grew more
and more afraid to speak, especially in front of people. I thought others didn’t
want to hear me. Later, in a healing meditation, I saw myself as a little girl
standing silently in the corner, crying. That’s when I realized: I had been
suppressing a deep longing—to be heard.”
Practice Guide:
Gently Awaken Your Voice
- Write a Letter
To the part of you that wanted to speak but was silenced. Write what you wished you had said. - Speak in the Mirror
Look into your eyes and softly speak those words aloud. Don’t worry about how you sound—just be honest. - Sound Release
In a safe space, let out a soft “ahhh” from your throat. No need to speak or sing—just let the sound flow. Move the pitch up and down like a wave. Let the energy move.
You deserve to be heard.
The unique tone of your voice is the missing note the world has been waiting
for.
