This episode was amazing!!! Working with repressed emotions (see Dr. John Sarno's books that mostly reference repressed emotions for chronic pain but also includes skin conditions, migraines, fatigue, IBS, tinnitus, CFS, POTS, etc.) have been so important for me recovering from CFS (I am currently in the very last stages of recovery).

I agree with Sally's points for not getting angry... Saying things I'll regret, hurting people's feelings, it not being socially acceptable. Watching this episode with lots of interest.

"The more we feel our feelings and the more we process the past, the more we can allow feelings to come and go." Yes

This episode put anger more in prospective...For me it's more to do with no feeling seen and being walked on... I always knew I have suppressed anger but this put it more into prospective. Thanks Alex and thanks Sally for sharing your story and through her helping seeing my anger in better prospective...

I have gained so much from Sallys journey even though I didn't have step parents and my father was caring, if angry. I also have a brother, and as if that isn't enough other siblings as well. The more siblings you have the more complex and complicated things become. Im waiting for an episode where someone discusses sibling issues.

I can relate to this session and the previous comments. I think I have been repressing anger much of my life without knowing realizing it. Now, with ME I have continual tightness, burning, and pulsing in my chest and throat. When I try to meditate these symptoms become worse. I don’t feel angry at all, but I have started dreaming about past events with me being angry, but when these events actually occurred I felt sad and hurt. Really looking forward to the next session. Thanks Alex, for all you do.

genius Alex! these episodes are the highlight of my day and i am also on the current RESET programme of yours ...

That explained a lot to me from my divorce 18 yrs ago. My ex had a lot of issues but managed to keep them to himself by staying quiet. He could not communicate his feelings and my divorce/infidelity came out of the blue for me. I lost my forever home and was left with 2 teenagers. I didn’t deserve it!

This is just brilliant! This is so what I needed to hear. From being ‘too emotional’ to completely shut down due to safety, I haven’t found a way to feel again. I’m scared but excited to try the situation/ feeling/ response homework.😀😀😀 So lovely to see Sally’s turn around! 😀😀 Such great content Alex! Thank you!

Really interesting about shutting down often meaning hatred that cannot be expressed.

She such a lovely human.

CFS/ME has forced me to slow down & allowed me to finally feel my feelings from my violent childhood. Even though I am not fully recovered yet from this illness I am much more content & peaceful inside my body. My father was/is a rage-a-holic & my mom would shut down & go silent when my dad was raging. I got the message that I was not allowed to show my anger or my dad would beat the crap out of me if I did. So my anger came out sideways so to speak in other behaviors that weren't healthy for me at all. This anger issue was very necessary to address in my recovery.

Brilliant job, Alex!

Thank you Sally for sharing your story x

Thank you for sharing about different emotional styles.

I've been following a similar grid for a number of years and enjoying the positive benefits of awareness. Thanks, Sally.

I really look forward to these episodes and this one did not disappoint. Great episode can't wait for the next.

Going quiet isn't always hate... sometimes it's fear expressed as freeze response.... or at least that's what l've been told.

Love this, and very helpful as im still doing Reset for myself 😊🙌

‘What we want to evolve to is not just doing it in those safe contained places, but being able to have more access to your feelings more of the time. Remember what I said; I’m not saying vomiting your feelings at people, but you having your feelings, and you being in touch with your feelings. And, having access to a wider kaleidoscope, a wider rainbow of emotions. So, rather than it just kind of coming out as crying and sadness, which is totally appropriate if that’s what’s happening, but you’ve also got access to: •pissed off •hatred •sadness •disappointment •anger - that whole range of emotion is available, and the way that I see a healthy relationship to emotion, is it’s sort of like waves 🌊 in the ocean, that the more we hold stuff down, the bigger it gets, to the point when finally when it comes it’s like a tsunami that kind of wipes out everything in the near land 😂. The more we get used to feeling things, the more the waves they come and they go, and it’s almost like the more we process our past and the more we feel our feelings, the more steady the waters become in day to day life.’ Very helpful and interesting episode, thank you .

I feel happy for her .. cause i know these feelings and she explains it well... it registers the effect it has on me as an adult .. it seems it hit to the core .

Alex could you make a video on how all these emotional responses or lack of responses or confinement of them transforms to "mithocondrial" exhaustion and how this is corrected (if ever possible) by changing our responses to our emotions? Thank you for all your efforts and contribution.

Great session with Sally. I hope she continues to feel positive and make progress! About the feelings and response 'homework', my problem is that when I have to go out, I get anxious and, by convincing myself I won't get severe stomach-ache(and it's effects!), I actually think about it so much, it does happen and sometimes stops me from going out....

Wow!!

This is really interesting actually. I hadn't noticed this about myself exactly but I think I am scared of and not allowing myself to really be angry either. I was forced to repress it for a long time and now my default is also to cry. Thanks for making this a topic of conversation!

The videos are lined up from 15 to 1 and I can’t figure out how to put them in chronological order, which means having to find each one by search. It might be that I’m not doing something, but it’s not clear 3:36
