Do you have problems with your jaw?

Do you have TMJD called Temporomandibular Joint and Muscle Disorder?

During this audio,

We are going to go into the deep emotional causes that might be the root issue for you to tackle in order for you that your joints,

That your muscular joints,

That your jaw would be less tense and more open to life.

When we have a tense jaw,

It means that it means that there is a problem with communication.

It's too tense to communicate,

To open your jaw,

To open your mouth.

There might be some aggressivity in the communication because if I open it too much,

If I say too much,

I might say things that I shouldn't say.

I might be aggressive.

So,

My jaw is closing and it is allowing me just to shut up,

Not talk and keep my relationships safe.

Keep the people around me safe from my violence,

From my aggressivity.

Have you ever seen a cat being aggressive?

It opens very big its mouth.

You might have suppressed a lot of emotions and a lot of words and unexpressed opinions and emotions might have transformed into anxiety,

Tension and stress.

The body might feel too overwhelmed by all these emotions that it can't process.

You might feel invalidated and unimportant and you might have associated the communication with your mouth with shame,

Trauma and guilt.

You might often find yourself in a situation where you feel that you are stuck in a victim mode.

Victim mode of circumstances and situations that you can't control.

You unconsciously create these circumstances where you feel that you are powerless which reinforce that you self-sovietize yourself in order to stay in those situations.

You might attract dominant people,

Headstrong people into your life that challenge your self-worth,

That challenge your boundaries.

Your relationships might be filled with hostility,

Judgment,

Lack of trust and an unstable foundation as a part of a childhood experience.

There might be some trauma from the past that your body might be trying to complete as it had been suppressed and it needs to go up to the conscious.

You might be unable to make decisions that are in your best interest.

Instead,

You focus on the need of others in a way of deflating from your own troubled life and unmet needs.

You might have unconscious feelings You might have unconscious feelings of needing to get away from people,

Escape from someone,

Feeling irritated and trapped without an option nor a way to change the situation.

You may feel that people impose on you situations and things causing some anger and frustration that build up in your jaw as you can't allow yourself to express it.

So,

In your past,

There might be situations where you felt that you were forced to listen to someone,

Obey some people who did have a lot of influence in you.

You might have had incidents where there might have been a physical force put on you and you might be too scared to face some people.

You might though remember all the words or opinions that you were never able to share.

You might have associated communication with shame,

With trauma and with your guilt.

You might be all the time searching to express yourself You might be all the time searching to express yourself in a safe way but these people don't allow you to feel safe so you don't say anything.

So,

These memories of the past where you couldn't express yourself are held in a place in your unconscious and they are replaced with anger,

Frustration and resentment.

There may be are some memories where you were taught to only speak when someone was talking to you and you felt guilty or bad whenever you had to speak.

That's why you might feel a great deal of uncertainty and anxiety whenever you need to communicate mostly when you need to be trustful of the way that that person is going to receive what you are going to share.

So,

You might have distanced yourself from the person you are talking to So,

You might have distanced yourself from others and share just whenever you feel that it is trustful to share what you need to express.

So,

Maybe working on your ability to trust that the other people are going to receive what you are going to share Learn to detach from others' opinions and look.

Learn to express your anger with words.

Say whatever in your mind without fearing that it would be rejected or being judged or made fun of would be one of the steps.

And sometimes it goes through healing your past traumas when you felt powerless in order for you to have back your power as an adult now.

That way,

Your jaw is going to release its tension.

It will be safe to share whatever you need to share and it will be safe to open up very widely because it will be expressing positive things and all the emotions will be released in that part of the body.

Please share your comments in the comment section regarding how it resonated with you.

And I hope to see you in another audio.
