We all have areas where we flourish easily and others that stagnate. You may struggle to progress in some areas due to emotional blockages. Recognising and resolving emotional barriers is tough.
Once you understand them, their symptoms, and treatment methods, you can conquer them.
“Emotional wounds are painful childhood experiences that shape our adult personality, who we are, and how we handle life’s challenges.”
Emotional block is a common personal development concept, but what does it mean? The term refers to unresolved emotional wounds from the past. Unprocessed emotions may appear insignificant, yet they can cause love and money issues.
When emotional trauma energy is repressed and subconsciously relived, emotional barriers occur. Repressing and not healing tough emotions like anger, resentment, guilt, and grief blocks positive energy from entering critical life areas, affecting overall well-being. In other words, suppressed emotions block energy.
Fear of abandonment is a typical emotional obstacle. It's feeling alone in a crowd. This suggests job issues. Breaking this obstacle is ending loneliness.
Rejection blockage: fear of rejection is also widespread. This emotional blockade might isolate us from others. This can cause us to present ourselves while we're not.
The devaluation roadblock might happen when you struggle to say no, are unhappy in certain areas of your life, or feel you don't deserve more. “I suck” is a belief. Are you unaware of your value? Feeling worthless, unworthy, incapable, unworthy of the best, unknowing, and never enough. All these assumptions prevent you from achieving your goals.
Fighting injustice: are you sensitive to justice? This emotional constriction causes misperceptions of injustice. You often step up to accomplish justice, losing inner tranquilly. You increase unneeded disputes.
The baby may feel attacked before birth if the mother has intense contractions. They fear being attacked as they grow up. The guy becomes defensive. She often runs off and takes things personally. Releasing this memory boosts confidence.
Being seen or worried about being forgotten is guilt. You feel unworthy of life. The grownup develops the phrase “I don’t deserve…”. This barrier causes self-sabotage...
As a child, you may have felt neglected and created this emotional memory of non-recognition. Thus, you will unconsciously want recognition from others, which may be perceived. Freeing yourself from this impediment takes taking charge.
Many emotional barriers come from incidents that occurred too early to remember or were so terrible that they were repressed and forgotten. However, because emotional blocks' causes remain hidden, their effects may persist. Unhealed emotional wounds influence adult behaviour.
Emotional obstacles are visible and subtle. Knowing the symptoms can help us spot emotional blocks. Emotional barriers can cause negative habits, feeling stuck, melancholy, frequent procrastination, and increased alcohol and food consumption.
Emotional blocks can sometimes cause major health issues. Common phrases like "dying of a broken heart" emphasise that unresolved painful emotions like grief can impact health. The pain our bodies suffer from mental barriers is one of many reasons to confront and eliminate them promptly. All emotional blocks can be gently dissolved.
Release emotional barriers to release stagnated energy and maximise life. Without healing, personal and spiritual growth stops. Healing our emotional energy helps us live more meaningfully. A deeper connection and better interactions with oneself and others ensue.
