Emotions give us humanity, and although we often make the mistake of classifying them into only negative and positive, every emotion is necessary and valuable as they influence every part of our daily lives. We make decisions based on whether we are happy, angry, sad, bored, or frustrated. We choose activities and hobbies based on the emotions they incite. Understanding emotions can help us navigate life with greater ease and stability. But what happens when our emotions become trapped and are left unhealed? I asked Jennifer Bradford, an Emotion & Body Code expert, that question. Together we deep-dived into what emotions are, how they can rule our lives, and how each of us has the power to shift any emotional experience no matter how long ago the event took place. The truth is sometimes time does not heal all wounds. What is not dealt with and healed has a way of returning as a reaction to something unrelated.  This is a conversation you do not want to miss!
