"The feeling that cannot find its expression in tears may cause other organs to weep."– Henry Maudsley
Have you ever swallowed back tears, telling yourself to "keep it together"? Maybe you’ve felt a lump in your throat during a difficult conversation or clenched your jaw to push through a moment of pain.
Society often teaches us that strength is found in stoicism—yet the truth is, emotions that remain unexpressed don’t simply disappear.
Instead, they bury themselves deeper into your body, often manifesting in physical symptoms like headaches, digestive issues, fatigue, or even chronic pain. What Maudsley’s words so poignantly reveal is that
Unexpressed emotions can take a toll on your health, leaving your body “weeping” in ways you might not even realize.
The Science of Suppressed Emotions
When you suppress emotions, your nervous system stays in a state of heightened alertness. This is your body’s fight-or-flight response—great for escaping danger but detrimental when prolonged. Over time, unprocessed emotions can dysregulate your hormones, weaken your immune system, and even disrupt your gut-brain connection.
For example:
Grief and sadness that you push down can feel heavy in the chest or manifest as shallow breathing.
Anger kept bottled up might result in muscle tension, jaw clenching, or migraines.
Fear and anxiety, if left unchecked, can lead to digestive problems, like IBS, or an overactive mind that prevents restful sleep.
Your body holds onto these emotions because they need an outlet, a safe space to be acknowledged, processed, and ultimately released.
Emotional Expression as Healing
Crying is one of the body’s natural mechanisms for release. It’s not a sign of weakness—it’s biology. Tears help regulate stress hormones and release toxins, leaving you feeling lighter, both physically and emotionally.
But healing isn’t just about crying; it’s about allowing yourself to feel fully. This is where embodiment practices come into play—tools that reconnect you with your body’s wisdom and allow your emotions to flow freely, without judgment.
