To step on your throat. About the blocked feelings Bashny.Net

We treat ourselves, as in childhood we were treated by our parents. If they have shame for natural spontaneity, we will be ashamed and stop yourself in the activity. If they were accusing, resenting us — we every time blame yourself when something goes wrong. We will be afraid to feel toxic shame and toxic guilt, so we will suppress his own aggression, to become comfortable around you. We are going to deprive yourself of spontaneity and step on your throat. Every day of committing violence against themselves.





And experience happiness, in fact, is the opposite. The more we allow ourselves alive, genuine and spontaneous manifestations, the more full, varied and rich our life becomes. Moreover, it is not only the manifestations of joy and delight. It is important to give the right to life and the so called "negative emotions" — anger, rage, resentment...

It is in the experiencing of these "bad" emotions, we often stopped. In the end, have less access to enjoyable experiences. After all, withholding affection are accumulated and the result is filled to the exclusion of all others. It is difficult to detect, let's say, fondness for another person, if you long to accumulate him irritation.

The experience of anger or resentment is often blocked by shame. I am ashamed to be angry and offended — you need to be good and strong! Always!Shame, as you know, the experience of stopping life processes. Physically difficult breathing, paralyzing activity. This feeling of muscle "freezing". Shame I want to "die" or cease to be.

Experiencing toxic, all-encompassing shame, it is impossible to feel anything else. There is no access to healthy aggression. State is experienced as isolation, like you — "behind the glass".

If shame is too much and it occurs too often, the aggression stops in the expression and accumulates. And like water, overflowing the bucket begins to overflow with unauthorized or search for crack for release. This may occur, for example, in uncontrolled outbursts of irritation and anger, for various petty reasons or just diffuse in a constant state of irritation – when the whole world is annoying! In many cases aggression, not finding a way out, suppressed, turning into a depressive state.

This means that energy is not being directed to the satisfaction of true human needs. Its flow blocked "dam" shame or fear of being guilty.

And then the person just can't feel happy and full. His needs remain unmet, he is hungry in every sense.

For example, the shame does not take the heat or get a confession in relationships. And fear feel bad not giving something for himself, forcing all the time to work on the other.

And in these moments we are, in fact, do not live in full force, as could live. Physiologically, of course, live, and mentally, psychologically survive, survive.

In Gestalt therapy we support the experience of all emotions and feelings that arise, no matter "good" or "bad." In the process of therapy, it is possible to obtain different experience — the experience of accepting yourself the way it turns out to be. And it's worth it.

Eckhart Tolle: to Take your life in your hands

 

If we can a priori allow yourself different feelings, we have a conscious choice — what to show and what shape to choose. We can choose to be ashamed or not ashamed, to take some responsibility or not accept. To have a choice in their emotional reactions that coveted sense of freedom.published
