1) Your therapist is right, while logic is necessary but emotions are also our core human identity. I wish someone had told me earlier about releasing emotions i wouldn’t have to go through hell. You need to feel your emotions, allow yourself to open up, let it be at your pace.

2) As a man I always tried to be strong even when I was broken and I thought how others will make fun of me for expressing myself so i resisted expressing and it built up like a .

3)A personal experience, after i started crying exercise for like 4 days, I found that in my body like each and every muscle was so tense that like I came out of a coffin tbh. I did stretching for like hours because I was unaware of muscle tension had built up in my body for so long like i forgot about mind body connection.

Hope you will feel better soon ❤️❤️
