Hey, it’s Karen! A quick trigger warning: this episode mentions sexual abuse but not in graphic detail. In this episode, I share my struggles with expressing sad emotions and how bottling them up leads to physical symptoms like stomach aches. My husband also experiences backaches caused by suppressed emotions. I reflect on the AA community's saying that 'our secrets make us sick,' emphasizing the importance of addressing and sharing our hidden feelings.
