Buried Feeling
Ashamed, guilty, disgusted, panicked, out of control, emotionally full.
Buried Belief
- “I must erase what I consumed.”
- “I must punish myself for needing.”
- “I cannot tolerate fullness.”
- “I cannot tolerate shame.”
- “If I purge, I can undo the feeling.”
- “I must get rid of what feels disgusting inside me.”
Hard-to-Go Place
Feeling shame, fullness, need, appetite, and guilt without trying to erase them. Purging may provide a false sense of undoing, cleansing, control, punishment, or relief from fullness, guilt, shame, and emotional overload.
Next Step
Ask, "What am I trying to get rid of emotionally?"
