How To Identify Emotional Blocks and Overcome Past Relationship Trauma
Have you ever experienced a breakup or a divorce that was so devastating that it made you numb?
Do you find yourself avoiding people and other social situations due to anxiety and fear?
Are you plagued by sadness, anger, and shame? Have you lost your motivation and drive?
If so, you might be experiencing an emotional block.
Emotional blocks are defense mechanisms that our brains create to keep us safe from emotional harm. The good news is, emotional blocks keep us from feeling. The bad news is, emotional blocks keep us from feeling. And they have a bad habit of paralyzing us with self-doubt and indecision.
Many of us have been wounded and scarred by failed and traumatic relationships. Many of us mourn losses that are years and even decades old. It’s fairly common. While most people are able to endure loss, many of us find ourselves stuck and unable to move on.
For many of us, unhealthy relationships, failed marriages, and betrayals have left us hollow and numb. But the hollowness is an illusion, a cheap trick the brain uses to mask hurt and anger and fear. The numbness, like any anesthetic, eventually dies. But the emotional blocks remain.
