A short spoken piece urging listeners to acknowledge and process suppressed emotions as a path to healing. The speaker argues that unprocessed feelings become ‘locked’ in the body, contrasts natural emotional expression in young children with learned repression from caregivers and society, and advocates active feeling (talk, journaling, prayer) to unfreeze wounds.

I cannot emphasize enough all that repressed energy and those suppressed emotions just by putting a light on them through talk or journaling or prayer or feeling them. To heal a wound, you must feel the wound. It's only frozen in there. It's locked into your body because you didn't feel it. Little kids, when they get hurt, they cry Boo hoo. And 10 minutes later they're having fun. This is so important. Little kids feel through feelings naturally because that is our natural ability. It's when our parents and our early caregivers and our teachers and society says, don't feel. It's flaky, it's weak and all that nonsense that we swallow the feelings and repress them.
