The things that eat us up from inside, the things we hold inside, the emotions that are desperate to get out are most of the time because of our own fears of others' reactions. The fear of being judged, ridiculed and even patronized is so intimidating that holding all these painful thoughts, feelings and emotions inside seem to be a better option.
But we are all well aware of the implications of carrying such heavy baggage around. At the least, it is going to be extremely stressful but if it is held in for too long, it can also cause physical, mental and emotional long-term damage.
Sad but true, a lot of men feel it is weak to be vulnerable, probably as a result of childhood conditioning and for a lot of women there is a fear of shame as well.
But everyone feels emotions, everyone hurts, everyone has feelings and everyone makes mistakes at some point or other and that's okay. As I've mentioned in one of my previous articles (Talk to a friend with EFT), if there is even one friend who you can trust, you can try releasing your emotions while working on EFT with them.
The most important aspect is knowing and understanding that it is alright to have these feelings and it is alright to let them out. The trick is to find the healthiest and the best way to do it.
If not, you can even find a quiet place and try EFT on your own with these statements. Say it aloud and be your own best friend in the process.
"Even though I am feeling all this and have no way of letting it out, I still choose to love, accept and forgive myself."
"Even though I do not have even a single person to share it with and it is too overwhelming to hold it inside, I still choose to love, accept and forgive myself."
"Even though I doubt anyone will ever understand what I've gone through or am going through - I cannot hold this in any longer - it is too painful. I still choose to love, accept and forgive myself."
I promise you, once the emotions start coming out, you'll feel a lot lighter and better.
If there is some age-old stuff buried deep inside, things you know or do not know about and are having trouble getting it out, then it is better to work with someone who can help you detoxify yourself and help you get the much-needed freedom.
