Healing the Inner Saboteur with Dr. Jacqueline Heller

How do the things that hurt us leave a mark? Our unhealed wounds may become acute or chronic triggers. A person, object, smell, sound, dream, illness, etc., can set us off and we might not understand why. Buried memories and emotions surface in ways that may sabotage us. Dr. Jacqueline Heller says knowing our emotions and the shifts in the here and now is crucial since our feelings are rooted in past events that may have no obvious context today, yet control our attitudes and behaviors in ways we don’t understand. Getting in touch with shifts in our body can help us label our emotions and interpret and understand our feelings. ---------- Jacqueline Heller, MD, a psychoanalyst, is board certified in psychiatry and neurology.
