The Emotional Weight We Carry in the Body with Elizabeth Gifford Maffei | Ep 5

In this episode of Untangling the Heart, Elizabeth explores the deep connection between emotional experiences and the physical body — and how unprocessed emotions can quietly shape the way we feel, react, and move through life.From stress and anxiety to grief, rejection, fear, and emotional overwhelm, many of the emotions we suppress don’t simply disappear. Instead, the body may carry them as tension, fatigue, discomfort, emotional reactivity, or a lingering sense of heaviness.Elizabeth gently guides listeners through recognizing these emotional patterns in the body, understanding the role of safety in healing, and learning how awareness, self-compassion, and emotional presence can begin to release what’s been stored beneath the surface.Because the body remembers what the mind tries to move past.And healing doesn’t begin through force, it begins through safety.Join the conversation as we explore emotional healing, nervous system awareness, and the powerful connection between the body, mind, and heart.
