What Happens When You Don't Know How To Release Emotion

By Deborah Moore


Everyone needs to show their emotions from time to time. It is only natural to become angry, anxious, fearful or upset. However, there are people who don't know how to release emotion and to express this. They will simply bottle this up inside and repress it. It is obviously unhealthy to be walking around like this.

When you are angry, for example, you will tell someone how you feel. You would have got a great deal off your chest. It is no longer brewing up inside. Hopefully you would have come to a solution. You can now go on with your life. However, for a person who is angry about the same problem, they will not go about it in the same way. As a result, they will deal with this in other ways.

When your father is distant and your mother shows you love in the form of materialism, it can be difficult to know how to show emotions. You can be overwhelmed and it is not easy to know where to start. It can interfere with the way in which you relate to other people. You will struggle with relationships. It may also interfere with your work performance.

However, this is not enough. You still need to know how to express your feelings. You can't go and pick up a paint brush every time you feel yourself becoming upset and remembering that you are not allowed to feel this way. Eventually, when you do go to therapy, you discover it is not only the psychological issues that you get rid of, but also the physical pain.

One needs to look for the right type of therapist to be able to process these feelings. There may be practical aspects to the therapy which can be helpful. There are also methods that will help you to cope with aspects, such as when you struggle with psychological issues. These can come up as a result of repressing these feelings.

As they mature into an adult, they will still find that there are certain things that can cause flashbacks. Triggers will set them off. When this happens, they will begin to feel fearful or panic. One feels numb or trapped. Therapy will help someone like this. At first, expressing your feelings is not easy. After all, this is not something that you have done before.

A person like this will struggle to express themselves because it is not something that they are used to doing. However, there are many ways of doing this. A therapist may feel the best way forward is to be more practical. This can include role play or art therapy. Other therapists will encourage the patient to talk without pushing them.

Of course, therapy can be challenging. However, one also has to ask themselves whether they want to get to the next level where they are able to go through life learning to love themselves and others. Therapy can be hard work and when you make the effort, you will find that it can be extremely helpful, especially when you have a good relationship with the therapist.
