Anyone have any experience with shedding deep rage? Trying to clear out this Inner stuff... [View all]

It's all GUNK.

I realize that my sinus infection has been a shedding of so much GUNK from my inner self as well as my body. Also, I think being sick is a huge defense mechanism for me...cuz when I'm sick I get sympathy/caretaking/etc and nobody can be "mean" to me (yeah...parental crap)...

So as part of this level of healing, I am trying to really take mySELF back in terms of just being in control of my emotions, and dealing with the stuff I have shoved inside and down deep till it turnes to GUNK and gums up my LIFE.

I started Acupuncture last week, it has really given me some tools as well, like foods that were compounding the issues. Interestingly enough, my "liver" meridian is really gummed up and very tender. Well, I did "just" get sober 10/2023 and guess what..."liver" is also where we hold ANGER.
Well, as someone who has suffered abuse most of my life, i think there's a LOT of residual anger...at myself and those who did what they did to make it worse...

And while sometimes it bubbles out (usually abruptly, at the wrong people) it is really deep in there.
So I am doing some searching today for self-hypnosis for anger release, meditation for peace/anger, somatic yoga etc.

Just wondering if anyone has experience releasing deep and repressed emotional stuff...?
