How to Release Emotions Trapped in Your Body 10/30 How to Process Emotions Like Trauma and Anxiety

I was watched the funeral for someone and the choir was singing a beautiful song. It made me cry but also after I felt so relaxed and calm and fearless. I actually felt so powerful within myself after this. An energy just came over me.

I'm a Combat Veteran and these 15 minutes have been more beneficiary to me than 15 years of therapy. Thank You!!

I just realized that my body thinks that my work is a threat. Every day i wake up and go to work i start to get uncomfortable, really anxious, feels like im gonna vomit and feel like i have an headache. I will try this before work, during breaks and after work.

Today I was writing in my journal because I was feeling depressed and didn’t get much sleep. I suddenly broke down and had a crying fit to the point where I was hyperventilating and I thought I was losing my mind. I’ve been grieving my dads death and my moms dementia diagnosis. After I let it all out, a wave of calm came over me and I noticed my neck and shoulder pain instantly disappeared. I felt so good afterwards.

My son has autism and I've always suspected that's the reason he jumps and waves his hands in the air. He doesn't have these social filters so he does exactly what his body needs when he's stressed. Brilliant video, thank you ♥️

I went for a massage weeks after a miscarriage, after the massage I was so emotional, I could not stop myself from crying. The massage therapist was so very calm ans sweet and told me I might have released sadness... in hindsight she was 100% right.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

You are the reason I’m still here two years later after my divorce from a forty year narcissistic marriage. Because of your FREE HELP, I’M still improving my mental health issues. Suicidal ideations have subsided significantly. A “thank you” is not enough for people like you…but I’m so , so grateful ! ❤

Exercising almost every day, especially heavy weight training, gave me something to focus on while processing my trauma during a major depressive episode. It arguably saved my life, worked more than meds ever would have. Everyone should have some physical outlet that they love

I’ve been a functioning, high anxiety person all my life. It hasn’t served me well. I’m now in my 50’s and I’ve realized I need help. But I got no help. It’s videos like this that are helping me understand why I feel the way I do and what to do about it. It’s not just one video, like a magic pill. But each video gets me just a little bit closer to where I need to be. For that, I’m truly grateful.

I know this is an older video but I wanted to share: I am a mom of 7 with a history of past traumas. I’ve suffered for years with post partum depression but I have been too ashamed to admit. I also thought it was my own fault and a decision I was making. I am currently post partum and the depression has been so intense this time that I’ve finally been open to admitting it. My grandmother suffered terribly and was in and out of asylums in the 50’s. She finally took her life when I was six. I think because of her story I am motivated to fight for a better life. I judged her once but now my heart breaks for her as I suffer from the same thing. I’m looking for ways to manage this naturally as I’m breastfeeding and want the best for my baby. One of the things I’ve been doing is light exposure. I make my family breakfast then bundle myself and baby and step outside to get the first rays of sunlight. We live on a farm and this morning my father in law had the radio on in the barn and I could hear it while I walked around. “That old time rock n roll” came on and I realized deep down I was telling myself to stand still. Then I remembered this video and I let myself start dancing a bit with my baby. We rocked and swayed my hips, smiled at my baby and just really got into it. I can be very goofy in general so I did not feel entirely stupid. Plus we live in the middle of nowhere so I knew no one was watching:) as I danced the urge to cry came over me and I did not hold back like I usually do. I’ve lost my dad to cancer, my grandmother to suicide, I’ve lost six babies to miscarriage and I had those hurts held up inside. I just released them. It felt very good and I will keep doing this. For anyone reading, and thank you for taking the time if you do, please know that getting help for mental health is not selfish. It is the best thing you can do for you and society. Strengthening your body, mind and soul makes you better able to serve those around you. So take the time to try this. Admit where you are and find ways to heal. It’s the best investment you could ever make. As for Therapy in a Nutshell, I am a subscriber and I watch at least one video a day. These are perfect for a busy mom of seven who needs to get her mental health sorted and lacks a whole lot of free time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Got asimple one for you all out there. ART. Any form of art, express yourself, let the emotions flow. If you keep it closed up, you burst like a coke bottle shaken up full of pressure and it's only a matter of time til you blow up. Source: Experience.

Watching this has made me realise that I have never felt safe in my life and I am feeling the affects now well for the past few years.

This makes a lot of sense. After the third meltdown in the middle of downward dog, I realised that I had an eating disorder and I needed to do something about it. I would routinely disassociate from life so I never felt like anything I did was real. Yoga brought my mind into my body and my mind was like “wth is this dumpster fire??!!!”

"The part of the nervous system we use the most becomes the strongest"...that was an aha-moment...just like which thoughts we focus more on, which actions we perform repeatedly...they decide how our life shapes up. Wow!

Did anyone else's heart absolutely shatter at the polar bear part or was that just me??? I'm going to cry

This video is literally the full explanation of how trauma gets trapped (PTSD) and how to release it and live a normal healthy life. Seriously. It’s all right here. I’ve been looking for a way for 29 years this fall, and this is what it boils down to.

I have absolutely experienced the sudden outburst of emotions during acupuncture. It’s wild to have such huge emotions pour out, emotions I didn’t even know I had. I need to express that, while I know there are competent and well-meaning mental health professionals out there, in 20 years I’ve met a lot of them and not one has helped. Most of them have caused more harm to me and my family. It seems the “good” therapists are the ones on YouTube (the ones trying to help more people than those who walk in the door with money). Videos like this, along with a spiritual approach to understanding my own trauma, have provided me with the tools to understand my issues and how to overcome them. The mental health profession as a whole is, like other institutions in this country, missing the mark. Thank you so much for making these videos so that people can help themselves when the system fails.
