Clearing your mind!

Studies have shown that the mind is often cluttered with trapped emotions which affect can your daily life in a negative way. Everyone carries unprocessed, trapped emotions to some degree. However, the truth of the matter is that emotions that aren’t dealt with, just do not go away on their own. Unfortunately, these emotions can affect you in several negative ways such as: The way you think about yourself, how you react to stress, may cause higher levels of anxiety, and lower your feelings of physical well-being.

Some opinions have referred to this condition as unresolved trauma trapped in the mind, which is affecting the body. However, this is a good example of the mind-and-body connection, whereby everything that happens in the body, is actually a result of what is happening in the brain.  It is also a well-known fact that emotional baggage is a major cause of digestion and intestinal issues such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome – IBS.  Trusted Sources have revealed that trapped emotions may be draining your energy and leading to fatigue, as well as acting as a trigger for painful IBS symptoms.

Where are trapped emotions stored in the body?

Your “feelings” come from what your nervous system is telling you. For example, anger, fear, and anxiety, are usually felt in the upper body. You may feel your heart palpitating, and your muscles tightening with tension. You may also be afraid that you could have a panic attack. These feelings can spread to the lower body, such as the abdomen area, and set off the unpleasant spasms of an IBS attack. This attack could take a while to subside, but will still leave you feeling fearful and stressed.

Unfortunately, unresolved trauma and trapped emotions are also lurking in the subconscious mind, and certain events or disturbing occurrences, can bring them to the fore, wreaking havoc in your conscious mind. By using techniques to work through your emotions, and clear your mind of baggage, research has suggested that the help of a competent therapist is the key to success.

How therapy can help clear your mind.

Mental health experts agree that hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) has been proven to be a highly successful way of releasing trapped emotions. Hypnotherapy is able to access the subconscious mind when you are in a relaxed state, and help to eliminate fears and trapped emotions. It is a process of release, and freeing yourself from what may have been holding you captive. You will be able to dump your baggage and your stress, and move on from the anxiety that causes the IBS symptoms.    

The NLP process is a program which uses a specific set of tools and techniques that can help you improve communication with others, and more importantly – change the way that you communicate with yourself. You will learn how to change the way you think, and be filled with new confidence, breaking the cycle of negativity, anxiety and depression.

The bottom line.

Releasing trapped emotions is able to make your life easier, and give you a whole new positive mindset.
