b'
This call is about how to move feelings, especially if those feelings get stuck as energy in your body. Today\\u2019s caller, Luanna, is having difficulty expressing her feelings and vulnerability. This episode demonstrates what it looks like when you actualize recommendations or therapies perfectly but the tension and tightness in your body don\\u2019t shift.

We all give our parents too much power. We make what they said and what they did matter way too much. Remember, our parents are humans, and more importantly, they are wounded inner children who probably didn\\u2019t get the parenting they needed. So, if you\\u2019re holding on to something your parents did, said, or just their voices in your head, I encourage you to get it out and find your own inner parent.

Anger is not useful when it is in our heads because there is no release for it. If it is hard for you to get angry and use or write angry words, you may be resistant to doing it because you feel like you are betraying the person. If this feels true for you, start by moving energy through sound, movement, and breathwork.

Consider/Ask Yourself:
- Do you ever feel like your feelings get stuck or maybe you do, with tension in your belly, tightness in your chest, and no matter what you do just can\\u2019t seem to move it?
- Did you grow up thinking or being told that vulnerability was weak, that you had to be strong and you felt like your emotions couldn\\u2019t be expressed?
- Do you get in your head a lot? Can you psychoanalyze yourself but when it comes to feeling your feelings you get a little lost?
- Are you someone that can endure a lot but when it comes to letting it go, it isn\\u2019t easy?
