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
One of my favorite parts of her story is the shift that happened with her neighbor—without her having to do a single thing. She didn’t have to say a word to him or “work on the relationship.” All she did was shift her own energy, and the dynamic naturally transformed.
This is something I remind my clients of often: it’s not really about the person, it’s about the dynamic. When you shift, the dynamic shifts. You can heal a relationship pattern without cutting someone out of your life or even having a single conversation.
The same goes for her “tech issue.” We never targeted it directly. Instead, we worked on how her unconscious mind interprets and processes the five core repressed emotions. That deeper work created ripple effects, changing the way she responded to situations whenever those emotions were triggered.
That’s the beauty of unconscious reprogramming—it creates change everywhere, even in places you weren’t consciously focused on.
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 their 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 get tired of receiving updates like this from clients. Each story is a reminder of just how interconnected our inner world really is. On the surface, the shifts may look random—tackling a tech task, sending an invoice with ease, an unexpected act of kindness from a neighbor—but beneath it all, the dots always connect.
That’s because repressed emotions don’t stay neatly contained in one area of life. They seep into the way we work, the way we relate to others, and even the way we see ourselves. When those emotions are released, the branches of limiting beliefs and behaviors they once fed begin to wither. Suddenly, what used to feel heavy or impossible starts to feel light, effortless, and even natural.
This is what makes the work so powerful. It’s not about forcing yourself into new habits or constantly battling your own mind. It’s about dissolving the emotional roots that have been holding you back so you can finally experience freedom in places you didn’t even realize were connected.
The ripple effect is undeniable: your thoughts shift, your relationships shift, and your entire experience of life begins to transform.
