Dear all, I wanted to phrase this post as a question. For many years I felt as if I was unable to release trapped emotions from my body. In hindsight, I realise that this was a result of childhood trauma and I didnt feel safe within my body; subsequently, my dsyregulated nervous sytem made me feel numb and flat and "emotionless" as a means of protecting me. About a year ago. I managed to release some emotions in the form of crying after looking at some childhood pictures of myself. I was so scared that it was just a one off and I wouldnt be able to continue doing it. Fast forward to today, im able to do it much easier now. I do feel a sense of relief from it. My question is, has anyone else had a smiliar experience and does anyone have some tips on releasing trapped emotions from the body? I understand that the somatic breathing exercises are a way to do this?
