Healing From Emotional Wounds

Healing Negative Emotions

In this extended episode, Paul Clough tackles the persistent negative emotions that many of us struggle with - those emotional wounds from our past that seem to linger despite our best efforts to move on.

Episode Highlights

  • Paul introduces a gentle process for resolving emotional wounds that doesn't involve regression therapy
  • Important safety note: For deep trauma or abuse issues, Paul strongly recommends working with a professional therapist
  • Why negative emotions persist: Our unconscious mind is still running old protection programs from our younger self
  • The goal: Teaching our unconscious mind that we have more resources and wisdom now than we did back then

The Process

  1. Identify what resources you needed back then that you have now
    • Confidence, calmness, curiosity, love, or simply knowing "this too shall pass"
    • Connect with memories when you've felt these positive emotions
  2. The Inner Child Healing Exercise
    • Identify when you first felt this negative emotion (often before age 10)
    • Visualize your younger self on a stage in front of you
    • Send the specific resources, emotions, and healing they needed
    • Integrate your younger self with your current self, accessing all your wisdom and resources

Additional Support

If you're still experiencing negative emotions after trying this process, Paul suggests:

  • Working with a therapist skilled in NLP, timeline therapy, and hypnosis
  • Asking yourself: "What am I doing that I could stop?" or "What am I not doing that I could start?"
  • Reaching out directly to Paul at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com

Remember, even subtle shifts can create profound change. The key is recognizing that you have access to all your experiences, wisdom, and positive emotions right now.

And remember to share this episode because that would be really kind and most appreciated:
