Your Body Stores Every Emotion You’ve Ever Had And It’s Making You Sick Harvard neuroscientist Candace Pert discovered something revolutionary: every emotion you feel is a real chemical being manufactured in your body. But here’s what most people don’t know when emotions go unresolved, your body doesn’t forget them. It STORES them in your muscles, fascia, and organs for years or even decades. That tightness in your chest? Your body remembering fear. That ache in your lower back? Unexpressed grief locked in your hips. That chronic anxiety? Trapped neuropeptides keeping your nervous system in survival mode. The science is clear: stored emotions trigger inflammation, chronic pain, autoimmune disease, and mental health breakdowns. And here’s the uncomfortable truth pills don’t fix this. They just mask the symptom while the root cause stays buried inside. But your body CAN release what’s trapped. When you understand the neuroscience of emotional storage and give your nervous system the right tools, something remarkable happens: healing begins.
