1. Why Are Emotions Stored in the Neck?

• Repressing Speech: When you are unable to express your true emotions or are forced to remain silent in relationships, work, or society.

• Inner Conflict: When your thoughts and actions are not aligned, such as wanting to say “no” but ending up saying “yes.”

• Fear of Judgment: When you worry that your words will lead to criticism, rejection, or negative evaluations from others.

• Burden of Responsibility: When you feel like you have to “swallow” many things without being able to express them.

  
  

2. Symptoms

• Pain, stiffness in the neck, difficulty turning the head.

• A choking sensation in the throat, difficulty swallowing despite no physical health issues.

• Chronic sore throat, hoarseness, or an unexplained cough.

• Headaches caused by tension in the neck and shoulders.

• Feeling "stuck," unable to express thoughts and emotions freely.
