Debra,
Here is something that I wrote a while back - perhaps, it will prove
helpful:
The Healing Power of Voice
Just after a traumatic relationship breakup, I began to sing a
favorite song from my "growing up" years. As I got a few measures into
"The Sound of Music," I had to stop singing - because I was crying. I
cried and I cried, then I restarted the song. Again, I had to stop
singing. I wept, uncontrollably, for what seemed like an eternity.
Then again, I restarted the song. I kept doing this over and over
until I made it through the entire song without crying.
This, certainly, was not planned; and proved to be very healing for
me. Perhaps, this is how to process emotions for myself.... how to
heal wounds, etc. Perhaps, when an emotion gets "a hold on me," I
should SING (especially before I express it in a negative way to
anyone)!
I "suspect" that each and every one of us has some form of healing /
therapy like this that works for us individually. How about you?
