12 years of my life my mom suppressed my emotions. She only wanted obedience but was verbally and physically and emotionally abusive. In my marriage my husband of 25 years was the same. My mother was "I'll give you something to cry about." the husbands quote was "suck it up". Being conditioned as a child I didn't notice the difference. Mistreatment was normal, it was routine. Only growing up did I realize this behavior isn't normal.
Thank you for sharing your story. It takes so much courage to speak about such deep and painful experiences. I’m so sorry that you faced this kind of mistreatment from the people who should have supported and nurtured you the most. You didn’t deserve to have your emotions dismissed or to be treated that way-it wasn’t your fault, and it’s not normal, as you’ve realized now. Recognizing it is such a powerful step, and I hope you find the healing, love, and respect you deserve moving forward.
this video really opened my eyes to something I never fully understood before. 💔 Dr. Gabor Maté’s insight into how we suppress our emotions-especially anger, grief, and sadness-without realizing it is truly mind-blowing. We go through life thinking we’re ‘fine’ while carrying so much hidden pain, and it turns out this emotional suppression is slowly affecting our health. It’s crazy to think that something as simple as not expressing our feelings can lead to chronic illness, depression, and even autoimmune diseases.I know I’ve personally struggled with holding in emotions, pretending everything is okay even when it's not. And after hearing Dr. Maté’s words, it really made me reflect on how much I’ve pushed down to keep the peace or avoid conflict. But what about you? Have you ever felt like your emotions were too dangerous to express? Or maybe you’ve been taught to always keep it together, no matter what? It’s time to face these emotions head-on and start healing, not just mentally but physically too. If you feel like this resonates with you, share your thoughts and let’s start an open conversation. This video is such an important reminder that our emotions matter, and it’s okay to feel them. Let’s break the cycle and heal together. #DrGaborMate, #EmotionalHealing, #MentalHealth, #RepressedEmotions, #HealthAndWellness, #AngerAndHealth, #EmotionalSuppression, #ChronicIllness, #MentalHealthAwareness, #HealingJourney, #SuppressedFeelings

Thank you for sharing your experience. Suppressed emotions, especially from childhood, can have such a deep impact on us, even physically. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this, but it’s powerful that you’re recognizing the connection. Healing is a journey, and I hope you’re finding ways to heal and take care of yourself-you deserve peace and happiness. ❤️
I had such deep rage inside me from the time I was born. Being held and nurtured was withheld. I had to self comfort. By the time I was 5 years old, I started having these absent seizures. I could feel them coming on with a strange feeling and scent. I knew I had less than 2 minutes to sit down or I would fall down. I would pass out. I just sat and stared. Afterwards, I used to say my brain felt like hamburger that someone had been squishing their fingers in. I was exhausted and I had to go to sleep. My mom knew about it but, she acted like it was okay and normal. I had them over and over for years and years. I know it was a tangle in my brain. When I was 6 months pregnant with my first child, they stopped. They didn't come back. Something was rewired. Instead, I had major depressive disorder. I spent 10 years wanting to go to sleep and never wake up. And, laying on the wooden floor and imagining myself melting through it and down into the dirt. I married a man who thought that was normal although, irritating to him. I don't know how I'm still here. I finally met a man who loved me just as I was. I loved him back so much for 23 years. He went in the kitchen on his birthday and he died with me 6 inches from his face. I don't let myself get angry anymore because, when I do, it has to be so severe and I strike out with words that cut deep. I destroy people. Then, I know the next day I'm going to be sick and have a fever and be stuck in bed feeling ill because, I expressed my anger. I don't even know what boundaries are. I went back to thinking that love has to be earned. Thank you for making these videos. I'm not stupid. I'm just kind of broken. I have that little girl still inside me. The woman in me protects and nurtures that little girl. I fear that no one will ever love me again.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I can feel the depth of pain and strength in your words. That little girl inside you deserves all the love, care, and protection you’re giving her now-and it’s so powerful that the woman you’ve become is there for her. You’ve been through so much, and yet you’re still here, still finding ways to grow and heal. That shows immense courage. Please don’t lose hope about love; the love you’ve already shown to yourself and others is so valuable and real. You’re not broken-you’re a survivor, carrying a beautiful and complex story that deserves compassion. I’m so honored that these videos resonate with you. Sending you big hugssssssss. bless you dear!

Spent most of my life trying to do the right thing but express my emotions!😢

This is reaffirming for me. I swear I started having seizures 5 years ago because of suppressed anger in my childhood and beyond.
