Emotional allowing means giving permission for feelings to exist without trying to fix or deny them. Expressing emotions involves outward manifestations, such as crying or speaking, but can sometimes lead to overwhelm. Storytelling occurs when the mind tries to justify feelings, often influenced by past beliefs and expectations. Understanding the differences between these processes is critical for emotional processing. Allowing serves as a foundation for emotional work, and expressing emotions is optional rather than required for healing.
Allowing means giving permission for what's here to be here without fixing, denying, or overanalysing. That means allowing both external experience and internal experience.
Expressing is when the emotion moves outward- through crying, speaking, movement, gesture, or action. Sometimes this facilitates emotional processing; other times it can amplify the state and overwhelm the system.
Storytelling is when the mind jumps in to explain or justify why you feel what you feel. The mind is influenced by past events coupled with beliefs and expectations.
Allowing is the basis, the foundation. You can express if it helps, but you don't have to.
