How Emotions Drive High Blood Pressure

In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather McKean delves into the emotional underpinnings of high blood pressure, a preventable yet fatal condition claiming millions of lives annually. Unveiling the suppression of #emotions, notably anger stemming from childhood compliance, McKean highlights how this suppression breeds isolation, distrust, and a dire need for control. She explores how childhood environments emphasizing achievement contribute to heightened stress sensitivity in adults, impacting emotional expression and sleep patterns. While medication is common, the episode stresses the need to address underlying emotional causes for true reversal, offering hope by advocating an internal shift in thoughts and reactions. This episode uncovers the intricate relationship between suppressed emotions, past experiences, and high blood pressure, offering pathways toward potential reversal through emotional resolution.
