Article on relationship of stress and underlying emotions

[Ellen]

Thought I'd share this article in Psychology Today on how the key to addressing stress is finding the underlying emotion(s). It's good to see these concepts showing up in mainstream publications.

Your stress and the related problems it causes all stem from emotions that are being ignored, denied, misunderstood, suppressed, or just poorly handled. Your distressing emotions, when they aren’t taken care of in a productive way, are at the root of all of your most common issues, including overeating, chronic relationship conflict, money mismanagement, substance abuse, and even, in many cases, poor physical health.

Sure sounds like Sigmund Freud would instantly recognize and classify this as Repression with a Big R. Dr Sarno would certainly agree.
