Emotional heaviness is a distinct psychological phenomenon characterized by profound internal fatigue, pervasive emotional weight in the chest or shoulders, and feeling overwhelmed by minor administrative or interpersonal demands. Unlike acute situational sadness, emotional heaviness often arises not from a single catastrophic event, but from chronic unexpressed distress, prolonged caregiving burdens, unresolved relational tension, and cognitive load accumulation. Grounded in somatic psychology, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), and modern stress physiology, persistent heaviness signals that affective holding systems have reached maximum capacity. The Feeling Emotionally Heavy Self-Counselling Session<\/strong> offers a 14-minute, 9-step psychologist-guided video clinical protocol designed to gently validate unspoken emotional weight, decompress accumulated mental burdens, and map realistic restorative micro-steps.<\/p>\n
