Working Through A Blocked Emotion Process:
- Stored Traumas → Blocked Emotions → Triggers
- Anytime (especially in childhood, but this can happen at any point in our lives) we have a strong emotional reaction to something, a negative one like fear or hurt, that trauma gets trapped and programmed into your body, especially if we don’t process it right away. When we experience trauma our nervous system has to feel safe enough to witness, digest, and integrate the experience, Otherwise, our bodies will hold onto that trauma to complete the process later when it feels safe. If we don’t process the trauma of the past, we will experience it through triggers and dysregulation in the present. When we see or feel or experience something similar later, that emotion is still trapped in our body and comes up again as a trigger.
- We can’t control the stored traumas. They’ve already happened. If we focus on fixing the trigger, it doesn’t change the root cause. So we need to process the blocked emotion. It’s not your fault what happened to you, but it is your job to fix it.
- This means healing and reprogramming our nervous system.This is a process of release and forgiveness and healing.
How to do it: When You Feel A Blocked Emotion/Trigger
1. Become the observer. You are not your thoughts, you are the awareness noticing the thoughts. Don’t let yourself completely let go and give into the trigger. Become curious! Think “oh, that’s interesting, I wonder what this is about?” Know it’s not the other person’s fault or the situation’s fault. This is an opportunity to grow and release this trigger FOR GOOD.
2. Get somewhere safe and private. Do a body scan. Every trigger has a physical sensation, where are you feeling it? Notice any sensations. Any tightness, pain, discomfort, burning, etc?
3. Sit with the sensation. Don't try to change it. Just see it. Allow it to be.
4. If you remember the trauma that caused this blocked emotion, re live that experience in your brain. Say what needs to be said. Console that younger version of you and/or the current you. Allow any emotions, tears, feelings that come up and allow them all into the experience.
5. We need to release the emotion through an emotional release activity. Cry, throw a tantrum, work out, scream into a pillow, etc. If you need to express anger or frustration, you need to feel that and express that and let it out in an appropriate and sacred container.
6. When you are done physically releasing the emotion and now your head is clear, journal about the experience. What came up for you as you were working through this process? Can you get to the root of this trigger? Where did it come from? What was the original traumatic experience?
7. Pray or repeat affirmations about forgiveness, emotional release, replacing negative emotions with positive ones.
1. Prayer: I am not my thoughts, I am the awareness noticing my thoughts. I am not my emotions, I am the awareness noticing my emotions. I choose my thoughts. My thoughts create my emotions.
2. Affirmations: I am safe. I am healed. I am now free. I am now healed from all shame and guilt. I now release all shame and guilt
8. Repeat this process as needed!!
