How To Cope With Raw Emotions

By Anna Stewart


It is a proven fact that some people get more emotional than others. However, those emotions that are really raw can be difficult to control. When they begin to take over your life, it can be difficult. When you are anxious or jealous or you become very angry, it can lead to other raw emotions as well. An example of this is panic or depression. This is very common.

Carrying these types of emotions around with can be a real burden. Unfortunately, there are people who are not even aware that they are coping with the anger or the frustration due to the lack of frustration boiling up inside of them. Many people simply accept this as part of their emotional state.

The process that someone goes through during this time can be hugely helpful. Of course, one needs to find a professional person to connect with and to build a trusting relationship with. Qualifications are important, but at the end of the day it is the connection that is most important. This is what leads to trust.

You need someone to talk to and to confide in because, emotions like sadness, and keeping things to yourself can result from something that has happened in the past. Some people are holding that anger back. Other people let go and express themselves by getting angry with others. It is obviously difficult to operate in this way.

The next thing that you will do is to take action in a practical way. This is often the best way to learn, during the sessions and outside of the sessions. You will often be assigned homework which is always a good option because it helps you to set goals and to stay motivated. You will participate in various techniques, such as role play and learning to meditate.

A person needs to feel that they can trust the therapist and that they are in a safe environment. They need to feel understood because very often one feels as if nobody understands what you are going through. When you finally find someone who has this type of empathy, it can make a big difference.

It is important to see someone who is more specialized because a lot of people who are experiencing these emotions will also feel a great sense of shame and guilt. It is important to work through this. This can relate back to the childhood years. When you begin to talk about it, you will find that it begins to drift away.

Often, people come to therapy and are feeling guilty or shameful. It is natural to feel this way because everyone is human. However, folks don't have anything to be ashamed about. The fact is that some people will have emotions which more developed than others and play a big role in their lives. Nobody is to blame because of this. This is all part of the process where one learns to let go. There are times when this can be a challenge, but it can also be hugely rewarding.
