Suppress or Express

Something or someone has just upset you: a perceived injustice, a disappointment or a flash of jealousy, maybe. When an emotional storm is raging inside us, it seems we have two options. We either ‘express’ - let it all out, speak our heart, but often the repercussions double our trouble. Or we ‘suppress’ - keep it all in, allow it to fester and ferment and risk creating serious illness in the long term. 

 

Is there a third way? By ‘processing’ the emotions, checking the reality of the thoughts that are fueling the fire inside us, perhaps we can ultimately find the truth that sets us free.
