Eliminating Emotional Constipation

We live in a world of instant gratification where we are encouraged to stay busy at all times. Any time spent delving into what is bothering us, where this uncomfortable feeling is coming from and why, is ignored day in and day out. Over time, this looking away from the discomfort and emotional pain, turns into self-medicating with spending money, drinking alcohol, using prescription drugs or illicit drugs, sex, anything to stay busy and NOT pay attention to the discomfort. Eventually people feel sad, anxious, depressed, frustrated, angry and have no idea why. Many times genetics is pointed out as the cause and medications are prescribed for labels such as Anxiety Disorders, Depression, and PTSD. Many people identify with their diagnosis and believe this is just who they are and what the rest of their lives are going to be like. I am here to blast that myth to smithereens. There is a reason why you feel the way you do and when you ignore those feelings for months, years, and decades while more and more new events that are not pleasant are piled on top of the negative experiences you've already had and guess what? You are going to get "backed up" emotionally because all of those events are stored dysfunctionally in a part of your brain that does not know time. When we go and resolve events that have happened and essentially "upgrade" your brain to realize this event happened in the past and you are ok, you find peace, relief, and calm physically, mentally, and emotionally.
