Emotional Blockage
Emotional Blockage occurs when a person is unable to resolve a crisis and is overwhelmed by intense emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger, confusion, inadequacy, guilt and grief. The person’s ability to rationally handle the situation is compromised, which often results in a loss of self-esteem and reinforces the internal panic around the situation forming a vicious cycle of not coping leading to lowered self-esteem and the lowered self-esteem decreasing the ability to cope.
