In this episode, we dive into why emotional wounds require the same care as physical injuries—and how to heal them:

Physical vs. Emotional Wounds:

• Physical wounds are visible and treated immediately; emotional wounds are invisible but fester for years.
• Both trigger pain signals, but emotional pain often lingers, causing anxiety, shame, and generational trauma.

The Cost of Unprocessed Trauma:

• Unhealed emotions compound over time, erupting as anger, self-sabotage, or harm to loved ones.
• Trauma can be inherited epigenetically, repeating cycles of dysfunction.

Steps to Heal:

1. Feel to heal: Allow yourself to experience suppressed emotions (cry, journal, meditate).
2. Name the pain: Articulate how your body reacts (e.g., “My chest tightens when I feel betrayed”).
3. Revisit memories safely: Use meditation/mindfulness to process buried trauma without judgment.
4. Break the cycle: Compassionately confront inherited patterns to protect future generations.

Personal Journey:

• I share how healing transformed his rage toward his father into gratitude, freeing him from resentment.

Takeaway: Healing emotional wounds is messy but liberating. By tending to them intentionally, you reclaim peace and stop trauma’s ripple effect.

I share my personal healing journey, emphasizing the importance of learning to feel emotions rather than suppress them. I talk about childhood trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and eventual realization that emotions are messages meant to be experienced. Through mindfulness, meditation, and physical practices like hot yoga, I learned to regulate and articulate emotions in a healthier way.

5 Key Points with Notes & Quotes

1. The Impact of Childhood Trauma on Emotional Suppression

• I grew up in an environment where expressing emotions led to punishment, causing me to repress feelings from a young age.
• “I never knew how to feel. I never knew how to express. I never knew how to articulate any of my emotions.”

1. Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms and Rebellion

• Suppressing emotions led to severe rebellion in my teenage years, engaging in drugs and a fast lifestyle as a form of numbing.
• “That was part of my coping and numbing myself because I didn’t wanna feel.”

1. Emotions as Energy in Motion

• The realization that emotions are energy that need to move through the body changed my perspective on healing.
• “Emotions are just experiences… They need to be expressed. They need to be felt. They need to be moved.”

1. The Role of Awareness and Articulation in Healing

• Learning to identify and verbalize emotions was a crucial step in the healing process, preventing outbursts and improving relationships.
• “I had to learn how to literally articulate and say out loud, ‘I am feeling…’”

1. Practical Steps to Emotional Regulation

• Mindfulness practices, including meditation, journaling, and hot yoga, helped me reconnect with their body and emotions.
• “Each bead of sweat that would come down, I could feel it slowly drip…”
