Our emotions are an essential part of us. When we shut them down, we are shutting down those parts. What parts of you have you shut down along the way of life and what has it cost you? Is the solution to a bad day at work or a fight with your partner to shut down that emotion with a drink? When you were a kid expressing anger, were you sent to your room and/or punished until you could turn it off and behave? Crybabies are weaklings, right? Don't be sad. I'll give you something to cry about! Be strong! Today we discuss how these misunderstood and unexpressed emotions create destructive behaviours such as over-drinking and what to do about it.
