SHOW NOTES:
In This week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we talk about The Importance of Emotional Honesty in Healing Trauma Wounds.
After observing myself I noticed that historically, I default to thinking rather than feeling so going through this grief process I noticed that when asked how I’m feeling I tend to default to the mind to think and what my mind wants to do is to go to the thinking.
When talking about emotional fluency what we talk about is this awareness of emotion and acceptance that it’s there, therefore emotional awareness and acceptance leads to emotional honesty which is the access to healing.
When you experience a level of trauma or a level of loss or a violation of values, there can be a swirl of emotions that happen which is important to notice.
Learning to sit inside of the discomfort of the swirl of emotion is an access to healing but when we refuse to be honest about our emotions we are avoiding the emotions and delaying the inevitable, which will eventually manifest either as an explosion or it’ll manifest in physical symptoms and this doesn’t give us access to healing.
Allowing ourselves stillness brings the opportunity for catharsis which brings the opportunity for emotional release.
It is important that when we are experiencing loss or the trauma, any type of trauma, whether it’s an acute trauma or ongoing repetitive trauma the thing that helps us to process through in a healthy way is to connect with others yet for some it is more comfortable to isolate and to be quiet and alone and finally to connect is what helps to move through.
Connection is necessary for calming the nervous system and it also disseminates some of the impact of trauma giving us access to new language, verbal and non-verbal with which to express the emotion that we’re experiencing and feeling.
When we model emotional fluency with our children it actually teaches them and gives them access to emotional fluency and emotional expression.
Despite what most people realize, it’s the unconscious mind that runs us. But how is that so? Get your first primer in 30 minutes! Follow and Share these pearls with others.
