Cei mai muli dintre noi vor fi trit, cu siguran, o experien n care, dup ce ne reprimm emoiile, o perioad ndelungat de timp, atunci cnd acestea i croiesc, n cele din urm, drum la suprafa i rbufnesc, noi manifestm ceva similar unei cderi nervoase ori unei crize de nervi. O anumit perioad de timp, uvoiul nucitor de simminte ce ne gonesc prin trup, ne macin, iar noi nu mai "funcionm" n mod corespunztor. Adesea, aceste izbucniri ne iau prin surprindere, irupnd dinluntru, pe cnd suntem n drum spre cas, ori spre serviciu; pe cnd vizionm un film; sau pe cnd ndeplinim o ndatorire lumeasc, de orice natur. Putem avea impresia c nu tim ce anume ne-a strnit mnia; ori, dei cunoatemfactorul declanator, acesta nu justific, n mod logic, reacia noastr emoional pustiitoare, covritoare. i aceasta pentru c eliberm simminte care s-au acumulat de-a lungul unei perioade ndelungate de timp; i, oricare ar fi fost factorul declanator, el nu constituie dect un catalizator al unui catharsis mai amplu i att de necesar.

n toiul unei asemenea experiene, este important s-i permitem urmarea cursului firesc, mai degrab dect s i opunem rezisten sau s o suprimm. Oriunde ne-am afla, vom reui, poate, s gsim un locor retras, ferit, n care le putem permite sentimentelor s se reverse. n cazul n care nu avem numaidect acces la un asemenea loc, ne putem promite s ne rezervm, ct mai curnd posibil, un rgaz numai pentru noi nine - poate chiar prin luarea unei zile libere. Ceea ce conteaz este c trebuie s i acordm sistemului nostru emoional, atenia att de necesar. Este esenial s ne ngduim nou nine, eliberarea emoiilor nbuite n interior,pentru a mpiedica apariia dezechilibrelor, n trup sau n minte.Atunci cnd te simi mai bine, propune-i s gseti o cale de a-i analiza i prelucra emoiile, cu mai mult regularitate! Una dintre modaliti const n consultarea unui terapeut sau stabilirea unor ntlniri periodice,cu un prieten de ncredere. inerea unui jurnal poate fi, la rndul ei, o modalitate minunat de contientizare i eliberare a emoiilor; de asemenea, anumite forme de meditaie. A-i crea spaiul necesar, n via, pentru detensionarea emoional periodic, i va menine starea nfloritoare de sntate i echilibru, precum i dragostea de via.

Having a breakdown is often the catharsis that is needed to keep our emotional life in balance.March 20, 2015Having a BreakdownTending the EmotionsbyMadisyn Taylor

Most of us have had the experience of holding back our emotions for such a long period of time that when they finally come out, we have something resembling a breakdown. For a certain period of time, the overwhelming flood of feelings coursing through our bodies consumes us, and we stop functioning. Often, these outbursts take us by surprise, welling up within us as we drive to or from work, watch a movie, or engage in some otherwise mundane task. We may feel like we do not know what triggered us, or if we do know, it does not make sense of our overpowering emotional response. This is because we are releasing feelings that have accumulated over a long period of time, and whatever inspired the release was just a catalyst for a much larger, much needed catharsis.

When we find ourselves in the midst of such an experience, it is important that we allow it to happen, rather than fight it or try to shut down. Wherever we are, we can try to find a private, safe place in which to let our feelings out. If we can not access such a place immediately, we can promise to set aside some time for ourselves at our earliest possible convenience, perhaps taking a day off work. The important thing is that we need to give our emotional system some much-needed attention. It is essential that we allow ourselves to release the pent-up emotions inside ourselves so that they do not create imbalances in our bodies and minds.When you are feeling better, make a plan to find a way to process your emotions more regularly. You can do this by employing a therapist or making a regular date to talk to a trusted friend. Journaling can also be a great way to acknowledge and release your emotions, as can certain forms of meditation. Making room in your life for tending your emotions on a regular basis will keep you healthy, balanced, and ready for life.
