Stored emotions

Stored Emotions/ suppressed emotions:The Invisible Burden on Body and Mind 

Explanation:

Stored emotions are unexpressed or suppressed feelings such as fear, anger, grief, shame, or anxiety. When these emotions are not released consciously, they remain trapped in the nervous system, affecting energy flow, mental clarity, and physical health. Over time, this accumulation can manifest as stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, fatigue, or chronic diseases.

Watch below scene from Avatar: The Last Airbender—it captures perfectly what happens when we hold on to emotions instead of releasing them. Just like Aang’s internal energy being blocked, those feelings build up—they don’t disappear.

Now imagine waking up one day with all those bottled-up emotions overflowing—anger, hurt, frustration—without warning. One moment, everything seems fine… and then a word, a gesture, or even a glance feels like a trigger. Suddenly, you’re reacting not to the moment, but to all the unexpressed feelings you’ve carried.
