This workbook includes strategies, exercises, and journal prompts to help you stop repressing your emotions and turn negative emotions into something positive. This book was created to help you work through and release grief, shame, jealousy, anger, guilt, anxiety, fear, discomfort, apathy, and depression. Suppressing or ignoring our emotions can lead to trauma, anxiety disorders, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and chronic illness. This journal aims to help you develop a healthy relationship with your emotions by showing your brain and body that you have the ability to face strong emotions and come out on the other side of it. This will help regulate your nervous system by constantly affirming to your body that it is safe for you to be present with your emotions. If you tend to distract yourself, dissociate, or your emotions are delayed, this journal can help you practice feeling your emotions whenever they do come up. The more you allow yourself to acknowledge and express your emotions, the more in tune with your emotions you will become. Releasing your emotions is essential for good mental, emotional, and physical health. Emotions can become a source of our power and creative inspiration. In order to replace negative emotions with positive emotions, negative emotions must be addressed, explored, examined, and understood. When you are present with your emotions, allowing yourself to feel the pain and understand where it comes from, this very state of presence will heal you. When you fully experience the feeling, and then safely help yourself return to a neutral or positive state, you learn that it is safe to feel and face triggers. This shows the nervous system that it is safe to feel emotions, despite how bad it may get. When we go through this process enough times, this emotional memory will be processed and will no longer be a trigger. Emotions and difficulties won’t feel as overwhelming, anxiety dissipates, and we won’t need to resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms.
