The results are in, ignoring feelings mean they stay in the body, and the only way one can “move on” is to sit with them. It is time to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. I’ve got you tho ;) You are safe here
Emotions are meant to move, not to be trapped.
When you resist sadness or anger, you give it more power. When you numb it, you only postpone it.
But when you allow yourself to truly feel—without judgment, without shame—something changes. The body relaxes. The nervous system settles.
Feelings are like waves.
They rise, peak, and fade when given space.
Healing is not suppression.
It is allowing the wave to rise, crest, and pass.
Healing begins the moment you stop running and start allowing.🌿

My motto is, be able to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. It’s important for my ability to grow that I can sit with what is hard and let that breathe. I can only get past something by finishing it. A lot of the time is not even but things, like I just need to sit with how something hurt me until I’m finished with being hurt. I had to grieve until I’ve grieved enough. None of this is fun, but it is necessary. If I don’t, those feelings just accumulate in my body until I’m riddled with pain and depression. In order to free myself, I need to do those harder things.

Your body doesn’t heal in urgency.
It heals when it feels safe.
Stillness isn’t doing nothing... it’s giving your nervous system the conditions it needs to repair, rebalance, and restore.

Unless it is release, emotions are energy stored. Where is it stored? In the body. As chronic pain, as stiffness, as digestive issues, and more. Learning to release emotions/feelings in order to restore natural energy flow and release pain. Want to know how? Let me show you.
Emotions come and go like the weather.
They are not here to harm you, only to be acknowledged.
When you try to fight what you feel, it tightens.
When you try to escape it, it waits quietly.
But when you welcome it with awareness, it begins to dissolve.
Your body carries memory and protection.
It only releases when it feels safe.
Feeling fully is not weakness.. it is the doorway to freedom.
Allow each emotion to pass through you.
Nothing is meant to stay forever.
This is how healing happens.🤍🌿

Listen for wounded behaviour. I think personally realizing perfectionism is not just a personality trait really put a spin on things that really got me able to look at adaptive behaviours and allowing a new lens for examining the self

A big part of the healing process is balance. Sometimes it is time to run, sometimes to walk, other times to sit. All are valuable. All get us closer to our destination.

I’ve been working on this for a few years now. Burnout recovery takes so long. There is so much more than “resting”.

Feeling feelings is how you move on. Becoming uncomfortable with the uncomfortable. It’s one of my favourite techniques for emotional release.
Emotions are meant to move, not be suppressed or resisted.
They carry messages, not permanent states.
When you fight a feeling, it stays trapped inside.
When you numb it, it goes quiet only to return later.
But when you allow an emotion to be fully felt,
without judgment or escape,
the body understands that it is safe to release it.
Sadness softens.
Anger loses its grip.
Fear passes through.
This is how emotions complete their natural cycle — by being felt, honored, and gently let go.🌿

Love this. A regular strategy I will use in sessions. Let’s look at our bodies rather than spending time in analysis

Integration is an integral part of healing.

Learning to listen to the messages of my body has been one of my most important skills. Hearing where I’m actually at, with that extra splash of body knows more than my mind a lot of the time, is how I make it through. How I know when things are ok or when I need to change my circumstances. It’s one of my foundational skills I help clients develop so they too can live life to their highest potential.
