We’ve all heard the phrase “Release Emotional Baggage.”
But what if it’s more than a metaphor?
What if that tension in your shoulders, that tightness in your chest, or the fatigue that just won’t go away… is your body’s way of holding onto trapped emotions?
At West End Organix, we believe that true wellness is a mind-body experience. Releasing emotional baggage isn’t just about feeling better mentally—it’s about healing physically, spiritually, and energetically.
What Are Trapped Emotions?
Trapped emotions are unprocessed feelings that remain stuck in the body long after the triggering event has passed. You might not remember the moment clearly—but your nervous system does.
They’re often a result of trauma, loss, heartbreak, or stress—stored away to protect us in the moment but weighing us down in the long run.
Signs You May Be Carrying Emotional Baggage
-
Constant muscle tension, especially in the neck, shoulders, or jaw
-
Frequent headaches, fatigue, or digestive issues
-
Feeling emotionally reactive or shut down
-
Difficulty trusting, forgiving, or expressing emotions
-
Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
-
Posture that feels “collapsed” or overly guarded
“Your spine takes on a different shape when you’re defeated or victorious.”
— Mark Olson, PhD, LMT
Where Emotions Get Stored in the Body
While every person is different, studies and holistic healers suggest patterns:
-
Grief → lungs
-
Anger → liver or stomach
-
Fear → kidneys
-
Sadness → heart
-
Shame → lower abdomen
-
Anxiety → chest and upper back
These stored emotions don’t just vanish—they accumulate and may block your natural energy flow, making your body feel like it’s “stuck in survival mode.”
The Science Behind It
According to body-mind research, the limbic system in the brain processes emotion and creates a physiological response through the autonomic nervous system.
When trauma overwhelms this system—especially if the memory isn’t properly processed—it can become stored as physical tension or energetic disruption.
Even years later, a sound, smell, or even touch may trigger that unresolved emotional charge.
