I didn’t feel like myself any more. I love my husband dearly, but his severe post military PTSD affected me greatly. It’s not his fault one bit, but as a highly empathetic person I took on much of what he was feeling and kept them as my own emotions to work through.
Add in my own childhood trauma, motherhood, and figuring out my ever changing body as a woman…I felt alone with my emotions and didn’t know how to process them in a health way. I did what most of us do, I swallowed my emotions and kept them to myself so I wouldn’t be “too much” or “too emotional” for others…until my body began to physically shut down.
Endometriosis, inflammation, thyroid nodules, precancerous cells, headaches, muscle aches…these are all physical ailments that were triggered by my stress. Science shows stress is a huge cause of physical ailments and a decreased immune system and yet hardly any medical professional can assist in HOW to process the stress. Instead, it’s blamed on hormones and a pill is prescribed.
What I learned from my experience is unprocessed emotions DO in-fact negatively affect your physical health and no one talks about it.
What I needed was a way to process everything I had swallowed emotionally so I could begin to create healthy boundaries/ behaviors in my life and learn how to through any heavy emotions in the future.
I began to pursue education to learn how to help myself and quickly became intrigued. I saw students during live demonstrations release emotions and emotional trauma that had been bottled up for decades and walk away looking like a different person. In fact, one of those students was my husband and it was incredible to witness him processing so much of what he held in from fighting at war.
I don’t know what your story is but what I do know is you aren’t crazy and you’re not too much. What you feel emotionally is valid. And if you have ever been made to feel otherwise, I feel this for you which is why I am so passionate in helping women reconnect with who they are underneath the emotional wounds and trauma…YOU are still there!
It is scary to take the first step. I was so nervous for my first emotional release session because I was scared what would come up. However, what I found was a brand new perspective on what I was feeling and a new outlook on how to shift my negative thought patterns and behaviors. Emotional Release sessions are so gentle and it’s such a kind thing to do for yourself.
I am a mother of 3 , step mom to 1, and have been married for 15 years. I have studied holistic health since my first daughter was born in 2009 and modalities for emotional healing. I offer one on one emotional release sessions and an E-Course that guide’s you through a release and reset process.
