Probably the best way to deal with your feelings is to locate them in your body. Feeling your emotions as body sensations takes much of the scariness out of them. Feelings are always located somewhere: a tightness in the throat, a quivery sensation in the solar plexus, a heaviness in the shoulders. But until you pinpoint the feeling as a body sensation it can seem monstrous, bigger than you are. In fact, the first key move in releasing yourself from the grip of a feeling is to locate it in time and space. — From Conscious Loving, by Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks
When you shut down emotions, you're also affecting your immnue system, your nervous system. So the repression of emotion, which is a survival-strategy, then becomes a source of physiological illness later on.
