Facing Trauma: Embracing Your Emotions for Healing
When a person has emotional damage, when a person is emotionally traumatized, it's going to be because of their unawareness, their unexpected threat, but also their inability to get help, which creates a certain level of needing to constantly protect.
Ever felt like your emotions are bottled up, only to explode when you least expect it? In this episode of the Narcissism Recovery Podcast, Yitz Epstein dives deep into the necessity of acknowledging and processing emotions to heal from trauma. Trauma often catches us off guard, leaving us feeling unprepared and powerless. This triggers our fight, flight, or freeze response, pushing those overwhelming emotions into the depths of our subconscious.
If left unchecked, these buried feelings can fester, leading to anger, shame, and sadness that erode both physical and emotional health. Yitz emphasizes that confronting these emotions is crucial. While it may be painful and chaotic, facing these buried feelings head-on is essential for true healing. He encourages listeners to self-reflect, observe their reactions, and redefine the meanings behind their subconscious emotions. This episode isn't just about understanding trauma; it's about taking actionable steps to process and heal from it.
Yitz's compassionate guidance offers a lifeline to anyone feeling stuck in the shadows of their past. So, if you're ready to face your emotions and reclaim your well-being, this episode is a must-listen.
