How To: Stop Emotional Overload

Reader’s Issue: My emotions have taken control.

Janet,

My emotions have taken over and are consuming me to the point that I can’t function, have normal conversations, or do anything that I usually do on a daily basis.

The emotion is overwhelming and I can’t fight it. It scares me to be this out of control.

I am feeling desperate for relief from this cycle.

Cara

Response:

Emotions are a natural response to every situation and event. We feel happy when someone is kind, or sad and angry when we are not loved and when treated badly.

Some children are taught that it is weak or abnormal to feel emotions, and as a consequence become very good at suppressing their feelings, to the point of not even being aware of them. These children often grow up with a very negative view of themselves also.

There are many people who live highly stressed lives, whether due to lifestyle, family or work circumstances. The military and their families, security or government officials, and parents of children with disabilities to name a few. These people are depended on to remain calm and focused during all situations, therefore train themselves to suppress their normal emotional responses. Running on adrenaline rather than emotions. Their physical and emotional well being is constantly being challenged.

Suppressing emotions can become a big problem. They are normal reactions, yet some people repeatedly beat up on themselves for actually having them, or not coping like they believe that they should.

Our stockpile of suppressed emotions does eventually become full, and whether we like it or not, overflows and can create havoc in our lives just like they did for Cara.

• We explode at the slightest irritation
• Overwhelming emotions inhibit our ability to function,
  think and act clearly
• Our mental and/or physical health is compromised
• We increasingly blame and chastise ourselves for an inability to cope

I met Cara in a private chatroom where I talked her through a Greene’s Release session. Cara allowed her stockpile of overwhelming emotions to be acknowledged and emptied, relieving the pressure.

You can read the comment she will be leaving below about the experience and outcome.
