Do we know exactly what’s going through our minds, do we know how to control what’s going on inside us so that it doesn’t negatively affect those around us, do we really know how we feel at all times?Knowing the repressed emotions is the most powerful weapon to understand our behaviors.
Through neuroscience, from the end of the twentieth century, we began to understand and discover neural circuits, as well as the functioning of the brain in relation to emotions, our way of feeling has gained its deserved importance, emotions were no longer mere automatic reactions, but they have begun to have relevance in the scientific field, when studying human behavior.
- At that time.
- The idea began to take hold that it was necessary to begin teaching society to be able to identify.
- Understand and control emotions to prevent them from becoming repressed emotions that guide our behavior.
“Every repressed emotion will secretly leave its stigma in our behavior through the emotional patterns they decide for us. “Elsa Punset?
That is why today the knowledge of our repressed emotions is so important, because it implies the knowledge of ourselves and offers us the opportunity to identify what is happening in us to act for what we feel.
Knowing what’s happening to us is getting to know each other. Repressed emotions are those that we do not want to listen to, or those to which we give little importance; however, they are the ones who gain the most strength and end up directing our behaviors and thoughts.
“What you deny dominates you. Everything that happens to us, well understood, guides us to ourselves ??Carl G. Jung?
Knowing our emotions gives us the opportunity to know why we act one way or another. Everyone sees situations according to their feelings, so they all act differently. Our experiences lead us to see the world in a special and unique way. Every situation generates in us a different emotion, so knowing yourself leads us to understand how we act.
When we suppress emotions like anger, when we let ourselves be influenced by fear, when we do not allow ourselves to feel sadness, when revenge is strengthened, or when pain is what we speak, we leave room for an independent functioning of the uncontrolled and un guided emotions; in this way, they will speak for themselves through our actions.
A Stanford University survey of emotions found that people who tend to suppress their feelings react with much greater physiological activation in some situations than in others, for example, when they show anxiety or anger.
Therefore, it is also normal for people who do not express their feelings, or who have more difficulty doing so, to have more psychosomatic problems such as muscle tension, headaches, dermatological reactions or more complicated diseases, their emotions are transformed and they suffer to find their channel through less functional methods.
Sometimes we face situations and we react in a way that surprises us, this involves the memory of our experiences, which we integrate, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously, when we repress emotions, we don’t filter them and let them enter our mind. memory without realizing it.
Our job here is to find out what is happening and how we feel at all times, if we do not know how to identify our emotions we will not be able to control and drive them. The first step will be: pay attention to emotions and give them a voice when they want to get ahead, if we do not take this step we will repress ourselves and let them work alone and independently.
When we understand what is going on, we can materialize and understand why it is happening, while listening we are able to understand and control our behavior so that we can act in a comprehensive and understandable way, in fact, it is only when we express repressed emotions that we take the step of knowing our true identity.
