Unlocking Emotions: The Fear of Speaking Our Truth
#10
03/09/2025

Why do we shy away from sharing our true feelings?

Children possess a remarkable wisdom often lost on us adults.

When a toddler feels a surge of emotion—be it anger or sadness—they unleash a storm of tantrums. These displays, packed with thrashing limbs and wailing cries, can be quite the spectacle. But remember, little ones react this way because those feelings are uncomfortable, perhaps even painful.

Though their words may be few, they wear their hearts on their sleeves. In contrast, many adults clench their emotions tight and flee from...
