Welcome to Hearts Wine from Hearts Distractions, the podcast where we dive deep into the messiness, beauty, and complexities of relationships—from the excitement of new dating to the challenges of long-term commitments and marriage. I’m your host Allisha Minor-Gaines, and this is the place for real, raw, and often controversial conversations about love, connection, and everything in between. In this space, we’ll explore the ups and downs of relationships, the distractions that pull us away from each other, and how the tears—our “wine”—are often the product of those emotional twists and turns.

Episode 19: "The Perils of Emotional Suppression: Why Bottling Up Your Feelings Will Hurt You"

Welcome back to Hearts Wine from Hearts Distractions, the podcast where we dive headfirst into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes downright confusing world of love, relationships, and emotional connection.

In today’s episode, The Perils of Emotional Suppression: Why Bottling Up Your Feelings Will Hurt You, we tackle one of the most dangerous, silent killers of relationships: the habit of hiding your true emotions. Whether you're newly dating, knee-deep in a long-term relationship, or married for years, emotional suppression doesn’t just hurt you internally—it quietly poisons the connection you have with your partner.

We’ll explore the hidden costs of pretending you’re "fine," the generational patterns that taught us to fear vulnerability, and how emotional constipation (yes, we’re going there) leads to resentment, distance, and even breakup or divorce. Get ready for real talk, controversial takes, relatable stories, expert quotes from Marriage and Family Therapy research, and practical steps for learning how to feel and heal—together.
