All stress is fear

​The fears you feel are usually nothing to do with the present moment, but are being triggered by hidden, repressed emotions buried within you from some past psychological trauma in your life.

​Your fears create so much stress within you as you are triggered to repeat self sabotaging thoughts, behaviours and ways of being in order to protect yourself from the inherent vulnerability and pain of unresolved emotional wounds.

When you integrate the emotional energies of the wounded parts of you that have been repressed you stop using so much energy repressing your emotions and engaging in stressful controlling behaviours.  In order to develop real security and happiness from within and become your authentic self you must heal past repressed emotions . Otherwise, you become stuck in self-defeating ways of being that will not bring you happiness.  

Repressed emotions can manifest in a variety of physical and mental health problems, such as depression,  anxiety, lack of energy,  poor health, addictions.  By repressing and rejecting the aspects of you that need your love and attention, you are withholding love from yourself causing you to feel unloved and not good ENOUGH.  This can lead to you staying stuck in unhappy situations that hold you back in life, causing feelings of guilt, low self-worth, poor health, anxiety and depression.
Your fears are calling for you to look deeper within yourself to see the repressed, unhealed parts of you in need of your contact, awareness, love and acceptance.  If you continue to repress your feelings they will intensify and possibly lead to acute stress/fear symptoms such as insomnia, hyperventilation, sweating, and panic attacks.

There are many ways you can support yourself whilst experiencing overwhelming fear and stress such as, deep breathing, exercising, walking, meditation, yoga etc.  However, if you have the courage to fully embrace painful emotions tied to the past, counselling will guide you to uncover the unhealed parts of you in need of your contact, awareness and compassion so you may integrate them into your being, and experience profound healing and transformation.
