In this episode of SOMAtalks, we challenge one of the biggest myths in modern wellness: that emotional freedom means either suppressing your emotions or being controlled by them.

Grounded in neuroscience, psychosomatics and Eastern philosophy, we explore: why we fear our emotions, how chronic suppression creates tension in the body and how we can learn to feel more fully - with awareness, rather than overwhelm.
