I am uncertain. I shall find a data matrix on emotional health.
According to psychologists, the way to overcome emotional constipation is to FEEL your feelings. Be honest about them. Let them be. Be curious about them. Contemplate what may be beneath them. Listen to what they are asking for. Even hatred and jealousy can provide insight into what we are really seeking and what personal boundaries we feel are being violated. When we are able to understand, embrace and let go of our emotions, we are not controlled by them. Feeling our feelings results in clearer emotional avenues. It also creates better relationships with ourselves and ultimately, food.
