Meditation, Emotions, and the Bio-Emotive Framework with Douglas Tataryn

Deconstructing Yourself

NOTE

Anything not fully expressed will become identity or worldview

Trauma experienced during childhood tends to be integrated into one's identity, making it difficult to recognize and address compared to trauma faced as an adult. Adult trauma can be acknowledged as a separate experience, while childhood trauma may influence a person's foundational worldview and attitude. Unresolved feelings and experiences can seep into one's self-conception, blurring the line between what happens to a person and who they become. To address these deeply-rooted feelings, practices like meditation can facilitate awareness of emotional sensations and their interactions with thoughts, potentially helping individuals unearth unresolved issues. Techniques within traditions such as the Shinzen method may offer pathways to explore and confront these buried emotions, which could manifest in experiences like self-blame or negative self-perception, particularly in moments of introspection.
