Are you denying a part of you the right to be seen or heard?
For this blog post I want to share with you an excerpt from my Straight Talk About Anger tele-class:
When we shut down any emotion, we deny ourselves, and our bodies the right to be seen and heard.
If I am denying myself the right to feel angry or the right to feel sadness, or the right to feel joy, or the right to feel whatever it is, then I am doing to myself what was done to me long ago. Ask yourself what part of your feeling body are you denying the right to be heard or seen. Feel it. Then ask, ok – where is this really coming from?
Is it coming from the belief that children are to be seen and not heard? Or don’t cry, suck it up. All the things that we were told that taught us at an early age to shut down our ability to feel.
Our ability to feel whatever that emotion is, is directly related to our ability to experience life fully.
And when I say experience life I don’t just mean the hard parts of life, I mean the great parts of life: the passion, the creativity, the place that makes you feel fully thriving and alive. And when we allow that place within us to be heard, to be felt into, and to be expressed, then we actually allow ourselves to heal a little more, and to reclaim more of our personal power.
And every time we do that for ourselves, that is love.
When you express yourself- all parts of yourself – the anger, the grief, the sadness, the joy, the excitement, and everything in-between, then you can really feel alive. Because then you become connected to a much deeper part of yourself, you connect more deeply with others, and you can experience life in a completely different way.
