How I Managed to Finally Release Emotions Repressed for 50 Years

[waliceguest]

Thank you, your post helped me release some psychogenic physical tension that kept me caged for about 10 years. I once felt that my right to my own life was stripped due to chronic physical abuse And it's hard to come across an article that is not still angry and hurt. Your "it is my life" rang the bell and helped me find security within myself. thanks!

A book that seems VERY VERY helpful:
Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender

I just stuck at the beginning of the book because it says: "In the beginning, if one is unfamiliar with the whole subject of feelings, it is often advisable to begin merely by observing them without any intention of doing anything about them." .But not only i am not familiar with feelings i think i do not feel much stuff.

I hope the book help others.

Thank you so much for sharing these important aspects of your life's journey JohnnyM53, you have helped me to see that I AM ON THE RIGHT PATH. "Letting Go": The Pathway of Surrender by David Hawkins, as well as some of this author's other works, have been intensely instrumental in reconciling many emotional as well as physical manifestations of my suppressed & repressed emotions. Please consider also"The Untethered Soul" & "The Surrender Experiment" by Michael Singer.

Very inspiring read.
I take my hat off to you
In this world there are to many people judging people (even doctors) an saying people are bad etc. Bad for getting angry an expressing emotions.
But there is not enough in the way of support for people who are actually looking to become better for all the right reasons. all the "perfect" people in this world shouldnt judge, because that is bad no??

We are all human and we are not enlightend, we learn. People support dogs an realise why the animal does.bad things like bite etc, we need to start applying that to humans more. we are a complex being an we all need to put down the judgement banner an all start looking deeper into reasons an making the world a better place! If we cant express due to societies "rules", then we repress.

Nice article. an i hope your journey to a more possitive an fullfilling mental fullfillment continues. one love!!

you had it for 40 to 50 years. I'm only 17 and go through modes of serious derealization, multiple personality syndrome, and depression. I have along past of traumatic events, a lot of times I feel overwhelmed with life and extremely stressed to the point I'm pulling my hair out. I fake a lot of emotions, I feel like a robot. I tried to logically understand my emotions which just made them worse. I've suppressed my real emotions for so long I internally scream with the idea that the real me will never come back. I've faked so many smiles just to see others happy, and now I'm warn out I feel very old. I'm only 17 I just wanted a normal life but my emotions and ego are ruining it. I hate the new fake persona I've created, I'm not really this cool super confident guy I'm really just a little scared kid wrapped in a blanket. Please wake me up from this dream world I feel stuck in because now it's a nightmare.

That was very informative and hit home! I, too, believe I have had supressed memories! When I was...

Hi Angelgirl, I have only just come across this well written post now (years later) and am wondering how you are.
In your reply you mentioned feelings of tightness around your throat. I had the same feeling for years after a violent rape. Luckily enough I did not block out all memories and could recall being choked at some stage. This resulted in me being unable to wear anything around my neck, even turtle neck jumpers.
As more as I dealt with my memories and what happened as better it became and I am happy to say it's been okay for the past few years.
I hope you have found by now a way of dealing with this. Take care.

Thankyou so so much for having the courage and strength to write this post and for the brave journey you have taken. It's reading your post that's helped me realise why I am the way I am. I was emotionally abused and neglected by both my parents I believe my mother is a narcissist and father had his own demons. I've struggled for so long I'm now 35. I now know I have been supressing/repressing all my childhood fear. I haven't had the tidlewave of emotions yet but have been constantly scared for no reason I could explain for so long.

Thankyou for being brave....for being you and telling your story
