The Power of Releasing the Five Core Repressed Emotions
Here’s the thing about working with the five core repressed emotions of anger, fear, sadness, guilt and hurt instead of chasing down each limiting belief one at a time: it creates massive ripple effects.
A client of mine, a business owner, recently completed her final repressed emotion session in The Reclaimed Mind.
A few days later, she sent me this update:
She tackled a tech task in her business she’d been avoiding for eight months—and got it done in about eight minutes.
She sent an invoice without any of the old feelings of unworthiness creeping in—and got paid immediately.
And a neighbor who had always felt intimidating suddenly reached out to help her find her missing pet (think the end of Home Alone: scary neighbor turned savior vibes).
On the surface, these outcomes might look totally unrelated. Tech issues. Money and worthiness. An unexpected dynamic shift with someone she’d barely interacted with.
But when we reflected together, the connections were clear:
Hurt around not being taught how to do things but still being expected to know them, leading to a pattern of avoidance and self-sabotage.
Fear of inconveniencing others, tangled with the belief: “It’s okay for other people to get what they need, but not me.”
Anger and shame about her own explosive rage, especially when it was triggered by overhearing her neighbor’s family confrontations, as if their conflict were reflecting her own emotions back to her.
When the five core repressed emotions were released, the limiting beliefs they fed started dissolving too.
Healing the Dynamic, Not the Person
Hearing about the dynamic shift with her neighbor still makes me smile. My client didn’t say a word to him. She didn’t “work on the relationship.” All she did was shift her energy and the dynamic transformed on its own.
This is what I tell my clients all the time: it’s not really about the person, it’s about the dynamic. When you shift, the dynamic shifts. And you can heal a dynamic without cutting someone out of your life or even having a single conversation.
That’s the power of working at the level of repressed emotions rather than limiting beliefs.
Why We Don’t Chase Beliefs One by One
If this client and I had tried to heal each limiting belief behind these situations individually, we’d probably still be working on it.
Because here’s the truth: you can find an endless number of limiting beliefs if you go looking for them one at a time. And even if you identify and “fix” some, they often resurface in different disguises, like weeds sprouting new shoots when the roots are still intact.
By working with the five core repressed emotions—anger, fear, sadness, guilt, and hurt—we go straight to the roots. And when the roots dissolve, the limiting beliefs and behaviors tied to them naturally lose their grip.
That’s why the shifts feel so effortless.
Watching the Dots Connect
I never stop loving these messages from clients.
I know the power of this work. I’ve seen it time and time again. But it’s still incredible to watch the dots connect, to see the branches that grew from each repressed emotion, and then to watch them wither and fall away with ease.
That’s what makes this work so transformative. It doesn’t just change how you think, it changes how you feel, how you relate to others, and how you experience your life.
