Wonderful article! Thank you for sharing this experience, to which we can all relate. The letting go part sounds great, but one needs to know what the real origin of the emotional energy knot is in order to do that. Being aware of one’s feelings, especially at a triggering event, is a great opportunity to make that discovery. The thing is, the original emotional injury probably occurred much earlier in life. High school was just where it all showed up so starkly.
