How Suppressed Emotions Manifest Physically

We often think emotions are something we can “get over” or mentally move past. But the truth is—what we don’t feel, we store.

Whether it’s heartbreak we never grieved, anger we never expressed, or fear we’ve buried to keep functioning… emotions don’t disappear when we ignore them. They go underground. And the body remembers.

As a practitioner working closely with energy, the nervous system, and somatic healing, I’ve seen time and time again how emotional energy—when unacknowledged—seeps into the physical body, shaping everything from how we carry ourselves to how we sleep at night.
