Today is day 2 of three days of my final marathon weekend of school for the year. As I'm sitting in this tight desk wondering how I'm going to hold this position until 8pm, I am hearing a lecture about how action can prevent trauma. When strong emotions are held in the body trauma can ensue. How do we deal with situations in which strong emotions are evoked? The healthiest is answer is, express yourself! Maybe you can't yell at your boss who undermines your work in the company meeting or flip off the driver you cut off or cuss out the police officer who just pulled you over but what can you do? There has to be something or else your body will turn to trauma as the solution. Can you shake your head and legs? Can you leave the room and punch some pillows? Can you go to your car and scream? Can you write all of your angry feelings down and then burn the paper? throw dishes? work out really hard? go dancing? What's your out from an emotional experience?
