Here is an excerpt from my book, Seven Steps to Inner Power:
“There will always be some deeper, covert manifestations of ignored emotions-such as developing a headache instead of expressing your anger-and as an effective emotion-dodger, you’ll say that the physical symptom is due to some other cause. Be very aware that you may have become quite an expert at denying emotions, which creates quite a Pandora’s Box of physical illnesses, misdirected reactions, covert aggression, and inexplicable emotional outbursts. (Also, ask yourself if you deny your good feelings as well. Many times trying to push away bad feelings causes us to push away all emotions, including our positive feelings.)”
