First, how do you get over that “never forgetting” thing?

Before those emotions brings you DOWN!!!!

The Seeds of Chronic Disease?

Every morning we wake up and regain consciousness — that is a marvelous fact — However what exactly is it that we regain? Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio uses this simple question to give us a glimpse into how our brains create our sense of self. https://www.ted.com/talks/Antonio damasio the quest to understand consciousness

Learn how to address unresolved emotions before they become the seeds of disease

In the treatment of chronic disease, both doctors and patients almost always focus their time and energies solely on the physical aspects of the disease. Rarely does the emotional aspect of a chronic disease is ever considered, let alone examined and treated.

But we are all too familiar with what an extended period of stress with no clear respite in sight can do to our physical and mental health. And stress is not the only emotional state that can have a wide-range of negative effects on our well-being.

Emotions triggered by childhood abuse and trauma that remained unresolved also leave marks in our psyche that could manifest as disease as we grew older. Being unable to comprehend and deal with the terrible things that happened to us or to our closed ones, and without proper guidance from any adult, the best we could do as a child was either to pretend as if nothing had happened, or to blame it on ourselves. But neither of them allows the associated negative emotions to be properly acknowledged and discharged.

Unfortunately, inadequate emotional management skill is not limited to kids. Life as an adult also throws us many challenging situations that often leave us emotionally helpless, drained, frustrated, bitter, unfulfilled or all of the above that we find difficult to handle even as grown-ups. Some examples are:

Spouse or parental abuse, family feud, death of a loved one, betrayal by someone close to you, an acrimonious divorce, job or property loss, unfair workplace treatment, false accusation, lengthy legal battles, traumatic accidents, being a victim of a malicious attack or crime, and more.

Destructive emotions are triggered not only when we feel victimized. When we have done something which we later deeply regret we also feel a powerful sense of guilt which can be difficult to shake off.

Regardless of whether you are carrying the story of a helpless victim, that of a remorseful perpetrator or both, the negative energies associated with each stay with you as long as the corresponding destructive emotions has not been completely resolved, even when memories of them have faded in your mind.

You may not remember all the things that your abusive spouse had done to you, but you will never forget how he/she make you feel.

… when there is no satisfactory closure to an event that negatively affected your life, you will continue to hold on to the energies generated by your emotional response to it.

In other words, when there is no satisfactory closure to an event that negatively affected your life, you will continue to hold on to the energies generated by your emotional response to it. The suppressed energies may stagnate and lie dormant for a period of time, but sooner or later, it will manifest itself in one form or another.

So far, conventional medicine — mainly psychology — has agreed up to a certain point. Posttraumatic stress disorder is an example, but its investigation is still restricted to psychological ailments and only when obvious symptoms are displayed. Under the surface emotional disturbance that does not produce clinically recognized symptoms is generally not believed to contribute to the development of pathological disease.

This is where controversies arise.

Can decades of deep resentment lead to chronic inflammation and its eventual manifestation like cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disease?

Can prolonged chronic stress and unforgiving bitterness (which, like other destructive emotions, can arguably be viewed as a form of toxic stress) promote, maintain or even exacerbate disease? I believe the answer is yes.

The current lack of evidence does not necessarily mean they won’t, but it only goes to show the difficulties in trying to characterize them in a manner that makes research meaningful. Due to the complexity and subjectivity of human nature, at best, we can only get sporadic individual cases which cannot be applied across the board.

A missed handshake, for instance, may be trivial for one person, but it can be a cause of grief for another that degenerates into a deeply held grudge. Hence, where human nature is concerned, it will be near impossible to get the same kind of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evidence that we demand from biochemistry-based studies. The lack of means to isolate and objectively measure emotions like hatred and humiliation makes attempts to investigate their long-term effects even more daunting.

If you have so far agreed with me that unresolved emotions can be destructive to health, how then can you go about releasing them? How do you, in the first place, detect their presence since they may not even be available to the conscious mind? As usual, I propose some suggestions for you to chew over:
