Not Just a Feeling: The Emotional Roots of Pain and Stress

In Part Four of the Creating Nervous System Resilience series, we explore the powerful role emotions play in shaping our stress responses and chronic symptoms. This session asks three essential questions:

  • What is an emotion?

  • What is emotional processing?

  • How do emotions connect to pain and stress?

You’ll learn how emotions are formed through neuroplasticity, how they live in the body, and how unprocessed feelings can drive the pain-stress cycle. With practical tools like somatic tracking and a six-step DBT reflection, you'll begin to shift from emotional overwhelm to embodied awareness.

This is not just a feeling. It’s a key to healing.
