Lesson

Instructions

Emotions only last between 3 seconds to 3 minutes unless…👇🏼

you’re repressing your emotions or not allowing yourself to feel your emotions in the moment.

when you repress your emotions, your body perceives it as a form of stress…

this dysregulates your nervous system, triggering the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline 😮‍💨

repressing your emotions makes your emotions last MUCH longer, and these unprocessed emotions can get stored in your body for years or decades

emotional repression also causes muscle tension, neck pain, weakens your immune system, and leads to feelings like long-term anxiety, depression, mood swings and emotional exhaustion 😮‍💨

repressing your emotions is a common behavioral response for trauma survivors & isn’t your fault!!

you may have grown up in an environment where your feelings were invalidated or minimized

or you learned that expressing certain emotions (fear, anger, sadness) weren’t ok 🙌🏼

or the trauma you experienced was so overwhelming that you disconnected from your emotions to protect yourself from feeling the pain you were in 🥹

the good news is that you can release the backlog of unprocessed emotions & stored trauma out of your body in 60 days with somatic exercises 💖

somatic exercises release the unprocessed emotions, stored trauma, & pent up survival energy out of your body ✌🏼(even if you’ve been repressing your emotions for years)

after you release, you’ll feel calmer & more relaxed than you ever have before

your nervous system will be regulated again & you’ll have the tools to be able to feel your emotions as they arise in your body 💖

you’ll feel much lighter both emotionally & physically and will have a ton more energy ✨
