When Negative Emotions Keep Coming Back

November 12, 2025 by Nicola Walker

Our emotions keep resurfacing whenever we think about it, even when we try to think differently. When negative emotions keep coming back, it’s a sign to take some time to communicate with the part of you who’s in pain.

You can be with the part of you that is hurting in such a way that makes it easier to feel and release the pent up emotions.

It’s about feeling the emotion and feeling heard and held at the same time. We can do this for each other, but sometimes you don’t have someone you can turn to and you need to do it for yourself.

So how do you be with the part of you that is hurting?

Self Compassion: A Calming Balm for Your Nervous System

Recently, I had an interaction with another person that rattled me and left my nervous system feeling shaken. I calmed and centered myself afterwards but a shakiness and depressive feelings kept returning. I noticed that I had added another piece – feeling disappointed in myself for not recovering quicker. It seemed that my mind was gathering more reasons to feel sad. It was time for some self compassion.

There are parts of ourselves that don’t care so much about being powerful and managing our energy to achieve great things in the world.

These parts of us just want to feel safe and loved. Especially when our nervous system is jangled.

Feeling Stuck in the Same Old Patterns: How to Move Forward into Something New and Joyful

September 28, 2017 by Nicola Walker

Pink Rose Is that “got to do something about this now” feeling beating in your heart? When you are feeling stuck in the same old patterns, it’s important to remember that you CAN move forward.  You can leap out of your life into something new, vital and joyful once you know where to begin.

Most people begin with their frustration over feeling stuck in the same old patterns. The bigger your dreams and goals, the more you can get frustrated with feeling stuck in the same old patterns. It’s a vicious circle. What’s happening is that you are narrowing your focus in on what makes you irritated so much that you forget who you really are. This may sound odd but you are not someone who is stuck. You are a brilliant, creative, powerful person who is on the verge of a breakthrough. No matter how you think of yourself, you fall short of seeing yourself and your abilities in their true light.

Feeling stuck in the same old patterns is an invitation to open up your heart and mind, instead of tightening them up with resistance to what is happening.
