Emotional flooding occurs when overwhelming emotions hinder clear thinking and appropriate actions, often triggered by stressors or past traumatic experiences.
Many clients express fears about exploring deep pain due to past experiences that taught them their feelings are unimportant, burdensome, or dangerous.
To reduce emotional flooding, one must develop a relationship with their emotions, as lacking this connection complicates in-the-moment coping.
Childhood emotional neglect can create a wall between individuals and their feelings, preventing acknowledgment and validation of emotions, shaping emotional responses in adulthood.
