@thementallevel: If you think you’re self aware, see if you can catch the discomfort that comes up within you as you hear this. That’s how strong the shame and conditioning is around just having emotions. One thing I don’t mention in the video is it’s not just physical symptoms. Chronic emotional suppression leads to chronic depressive thoughts, cynicism, apathy, despair and self attack. This occurs to the downward spiral that occurs over time through basic suppression. Obviously it doesn’t apply to just men, but the crying thing is low hanging fruit for men. For women, it tends to be chronic suppression of anger, so simply finding safe ways to move and express and feel the anger without needing to aim it at anyone can be a way to recondition chronic suppression and find health and balance in your system. 🙏🏼❤️ #MentalHealth #spiritual #mindfulness #anxiety #stoic
