This learning resource focuses on understanding and expressing emotions. It guides individuals through a body scan technique to identify physical sensations associated with tension and suppressed emotions. The resource explains the science behind emotional suppression, particularly how it triggers the amygdala and raises cortisol levels, affecting mental and physical health. It prompts participants to identify and reflect on their suppressed emotions using an emotion wheel, and encourages them to analyze the reasons behind their emotional suppression, including societal and cultural influences. Activities are included for personal reflection, envisioning open emotional expression, and committing to small steps towards emotional honesty. The overarching aim is to foster awareness of emotional challenges and promote healthier emotional expression.
