Processing After a Heart Wall or Emotion Code Session
When a trapped emotion is released, the healing journey begins. As your subconscious and body process this shift, you may temporarily experience emotional “echoes” or sensitivity. This is a natural part of the process—not a step backward.
What to Expect During Processing
- Emotional Sensitivity Is Normal: It’s common to feel unsettled, tearful, or reflective as your system recalibrates. Share this possibility ahead of time—if someone you’ve treated feels emotional afterward, reassurance helps them understand it’s a sign of healing—not harm.
- Let Your Support Network Know: If you’re experiencing post-session sensitivity, consider letting close friends or family know. This awareness helps them support you and prevents misinterpretation.
- Frequency & Duration: About 20% of people notice processing symptoms after a session. These usually subside within an hour to one day, though occasionally they may last longer.
- Intensity Depends on How the Emotion Was Stored: If the emotion was deeply felt when trapped, most people feel light and free when it’s released. If the emotion was suppressed from the start, more emotional echoes may appear as your system fully integrates the release.
- Symptoms Are Short‑Lived and Milder Than the Original Emotion: You may experience brief stirs of sadness, vivid dreams, or light emotional release—but it’s always much less intense than the initial emotion. The clarity and peace on the other side are truly worth it.
