Hi Keri, have been highlighting so many parts of this! We become private, a result of traumas, big and small. The ego’s way to protect us from further trauma and heartache. Yes, suppressing emotions will manifest in some form of dis-ease. It’s also equally important to know it is OK not to share all of self ~ everyone doesn’t need to know everything about us. We have free will to chose with whom and what we share; or, keep thoughts private until you are ready to share. PS. hope my highlights are appearing on your end and claps!!
