Aaron Doughty argues that suppressing shame, anger, and guilt actually blocks your ability to feel joy and peace. Feeling low emotions creates emotional roots that let higher emotions flow more freely. Processing uncomfortable feelings brings subconscious material into awareness, which is where healing happens.

If you don't allow yourself to feel the bottom level of emotions, you're capping the amount of positive emotions you can feel. So if you want to go higher and you want to feel higher vibrational emotions, you must actually become okay with even the lower vibrational emotions, because then you kind of grow roots to where then there's like a channel that allows you to go even higher. So it's the exact opposite of what most people think. They're like, I'm not going to feel shame or anger or guilt. Instead, I'm going to feel love, joy, peace, enlightenment, or whatever. But focusing on that, it's like there's no roots. It's about clearing and feeling into that energy and having healthy relationship with emotions, because emotions are just indicating, are just indicators indicating what's inside of us, what's subconscious we can bring into the conscious. We can feel, and the more you feel, the more you heal.
