Our Emotional “Pressure Points”

The fact that we have very complex and delicate emotions also means that, as time goes by, we tend to develop some “pressure points”, i.e., some highly sensitive responses to external stimulus that trigger uncontrollable reactions at the time of the interactions with others. In addition, most of the times, these reactions burst out either as a massively violent anger or as a lethargic and pitiful submission. Obviously, these two behaviors have their own shades and intensity of manifestation depending on the person and on the situation, even so, when the fragile point is pressed, the emotional bomb goes off fiercely. Therefore, it is an important knowledge to know what are our own “pressure points”, what are their origins and what triggers them so that, with this awareness, we can track their genesis aiming to start healing the undesirable memories that set off the reactions and, on top of that, with the consciousness of the type of situations that activates those uncontrollable responses we can develop a mental framework designed to protect ourselves, and those around us, from the emotional outburst caused by the set off. In other words, as we keep almost everything around us very neat, polished and beautiful, it is important that we have the same approach towards our own emotional well-being because its power is quintessential for an inspiring, loving and harmonious existence.
