The Feminine Throne’s emotional release Journal helps you in building the skill of emotional release, a process that aids you in releasing unresolved negative emotions and limiting belief systems. Negative emotions not only poorly direct your behavior, but your attention as well. Creating mental blockages that distract you from the things that are most important in your everyday life. Focusing on negative emotions will cloud your judgment and leave you stagnant, which is why practicing emotional release is important. Everyone carries unprocessed emotions from their experiences to some degree. However, emotions that aren’t dealt with don’t just go away. They manifest into bigger issues that influence the way we go about our everyday activities. These emotions affect the way you think about yourself, how you react to stressors, your physical and mental well being, as well as your relationships with others.
Often we struggle to understand how we feel, how to dissect our feelings, or even what those feelings mean for us, unless we get the chance to work through them some how. We usually choose to get our feelings out by talking about them, acting them out, or just repressing them altogether, but all of these methods come with both negative and positive implications. That without the right circumstances can make a bad situation worse. Although speaking to someone about your emotional problems may help you feel better, too many emotional exchanges can be taxing for the supporter, so for the sake of our relationships it’s best to not overburden our emotional support systems. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t go to others for support, but simply that we should take advantage of other options for emotional release. The Feminine Throne’s “Emotional Release Journal” is a productive solution to all of these problems. A place to unburden your everyday emotions, get to the bottom of what’s going on with you emotionally, make decisions based on those emotions, and then release the emotions.

Intense emotions impact our cognitive processes; it especially affects memory processing and the ability to recall factual information, or details within our memory. As a result, we do not properly perceive the situation or event. We journal so that we can consciously sit with our emotions, write them down and process them subconsciously giving us a better understanding of the trauma we have just experienced. When we experience extremely overwhelming emotions due to a trauma, the brain holds onto the event as a reminder to protect ourselves this manifest as fear, mental & emotional blockages, and stagnation that has the ability to keep us stuck in that experience interrupting the brain’s natural recovery process. This leads us down an extreme rabbit hole of intense emotions that we would rather avoid. Processing & releasing these emotions keep us rooted in reality and allows us to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
