Two Simple Tools to Work Through All Emotional Processing Work and Blocks

By this point, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the concept of addictions and fears. This may feel like a lot or even just not worth the hassle. When I first came upon this information, I had to go through the grief that I am in trouble, because I have had a very traumatic life for the first 29 years of my life, and that is a lot of pain to work through.

In the journey I discovered 2 steps that has helped me stay in the process and will keep me going no matter the hardship.

Are you ready for the 2 steps? Every child know how to do this and you definitely knew how to do this before your childhood caretaker shut it down.

1.) Emotional

2.) Truth

That’s it. That is all you need. It will take you through all the process one step after another. There is one more- desire - but that is for another blog.

As long as you are being emotionally honest, you are connected and the emotions are flowing. Once the emotion is safely released, you will find that you are now lighter and able to receive truth about the issue and make a choice. If you are lying to yourself, you won’t be able to work through the issues.

For example, I will say on a daily basis, “God, I am terrified. Why is there so much fear in me. This is so uncomfortable. Are you sure this is the way?” This is the honest way I feel and as I express it, the tears start to flow and I am guided to stay on it until the fear passes. There are days when I say, “God, I don’t want to feel bad stuff today, I just want to numb out”. I am being honest. And as soon as I say it, I start to discover why I am avoiding emotions and feel compassion for myself.

I may wish to be different or have different motivations, but I have to look at what I am doing, or what I am attracting, and say, the truth is this is what I want. “I want my addictions and I don’t care how much others get hurt by it”. By acknowledging the truth of what is happening, that part of me that wants addictions is allowed to come to the surface and be released.

It takes courage to be honest with myself and to not judge what is there. I have now developed faith that as long as I say the truth to myself, and safely express the emotions, the desire leaves me. It also exposes the fear and other emotions locked under the desire.
