The totality of feeling

An unresolved emotional issue is simply an issue whose totality of emotions you have not felt nor experienced. At the time the issue or trauma happened you either consciously suppressed, or unconsciously repressed, the totality of emotion that it caused within you because basically you couldn't handle it. 

It was too much, too painful, too weird, too uncomfortable or too traumatic to feel in its entirety. The healing scenario is that at a later time when you are in safer surroundings and safer circumstances, it will automatically surface and you can feel it, experience it and thus it gets resolved, heals and you have completion around that incident.

Now this is basic psychological and physical health wisdom. To know this automatic phenomenon of the emotional nature of a human being is essential. Most of us are not taught this truth. This dynamic is not understood and instead we are given the idea that surfacing emotions associated with past traumas are dubious things and need to be controlled and driven into suppression again and again, for after all, what good can come from feeling a lot of feelings, uncomfortable feelings for that matter too? 

Well, within that feeling, that experiencing of the emotions, as previously mentioned, comes the healing, the resolving, the completion and integration of traumas. A worthy pursuit that ensures good physical, mental and emotional health. It cures and prevents addictions from ruling your life and ruining your life.

Awareness of the pattern

To give up any addiction successfully you do not have to abstain from the object of your addiction. In other words the first step in giving up any addiction (contrary to popular belief) is not about abstaining from the food when full, the drink or drugs, gambling etc.  The first step in to be AWARE of your pattern of behaviour.  That means you become aware of when the craving kicks in, and you become aware of your thoughts drifting towards indulging in the object of your addiction. You reach out for the glass of wine. You catch yourself arranging to have that cheesecake even though you are physically full. You reach for the cigarette or vape. This awareness then needs to be extended as it were, you need to be aware of how you are doing emotionally at that specific time the craving kicks in. In this awareness of how you feel emotionally comes the  ability to actually find an alternative means of coping with that emotional dilemma other than just suppressing / numbing it wi...

Integration

There is something about having healed a situation or trauma that empowers you.  Maybe you suffered from some abuse for example, a tone of voice or a manner that a parent had that triggers you to this day. If your spouse or a shop assistant or friend even, displays this same behaviour it can be very upsetting for you if you have not healed that original culprit. You may drink or overeat to numb the issue and carry on allowing that person to behave that way, you carry on being around that person never calling out that behaviour that may be rude or abusive to whatever degree. Either way you are  stuck in that situation with that person until you heal the original culprit, the parental behaviour that was your first experience or wounding of that kind.  So through giving up eating when full, drink etc and allowing yourself to be fully aware of how that behaviour makes you feel, if you feel it is abusive or rude or overstepping boundaries and even you may be dismissive of it a...

Healing the Eating Habit

So, to be a writer you have got to write. Luckily for me I have always loved writing; from I was a little girl at school and given a story to write and a picture to draw about that story, to now, writing self-help books and novels. The inspiration strikes and you cannot help but write. It feeds you to write when you love to write, just like it feeds you when you actually paint and you love painting.  The reason I mention this is that it is a little known fact that one must do what one loves. If you love to fish, then fish, make time for it, gather the equipment, learn the knowledge, hang out with fishermen. You get the picture. It is not rocket science. To avoid this is disastrous (another seemingly little known fact) because you will always feel something is missing. Something important only to you, and this is when the addictions and overeating kick in, for it is painful to know there is this lack in your life. Maybe you do not even know what you are interested in, or would like ...
