Mental Health Therapy in East Bay Area

 

Ever had someone who told you to "suck it up" when you were feeling sad, angry, or hurt?

When we hold back our emotions, we may decrease the outward expression of those emotions, such as crying or yelling. But emotional suppression does little to repress our inner emotional experience.

Only by allowing ourselves to feel our emotions can we process them effectively. Otherwise, our emotions will, as Dr. Marc Brackett writes, "pile up like a debt that will eventually come due."

Therapy can help you recognize the physical symptoms of emotional suppression and work through challenging emotions. Contact Life by Design Therapy to learn more today.
