CJ Liu interviews Anthony Brinkley about his book “You Can’t Run Away from You: A Young Man’s Journey to himself” (www.onthebrinkconsulting.com.  Anthony shares why it's important to deal with our traumatic experiences that he described in the second video (https://youtu.be/AHKpnqN1AXQ). 

Typically, we numb the pain. Anthony shares ow he’s helped two drug addicts that were using drugs to numb the pain. He counsels his clients that they need a way to process the pain in a safe way and the healing power of tears. Often what we have learned about expressing emotions we have to unlearn. It’s ok to have feelings of anger, even rage as long as we find healthy safe ways of expressing them that don’t harm others. Once we are able to express our feelings, we will then find the resources whether they be therapy, church, or a friend that will help you. CJ shares her “work” in dealing with recent violence on Asians and how it triggered old wounds and how she dealt with the unresolved anger from her youth through meditation and healing work. Anthony cautions if we don’t do this courageous work on unpacking and expressing the pain that it affects our orientation to the world around you and yourself. It’s doing the work bit by bit because if we don’t, they amass to a reservoir of negativity that can be explosive if aggravated or triggered. 

When we do this work, we become the first believer in ourselves. We learn how to deal with the negative energy and to develop a faith. And if we don’t deal with the emotional pain it can become physical. Anthony explains “People have ulcers when you keep stuff on the  inside. It only has so far. I can go to the place that its eating up your pancreas, your liver,  and your kidneys until you got acid  burning hole in your stomach. Because that stuff has nowhere to go. When you let it out, it goes. It has the whole world to dissipate in and now you open to yourself”.
