What Is Emotion Release Therapy
Emotion Release Therapy is a holistic technique that identifies and releases negative emotions stored deep within the subconscious mind—sometimes as far back as the womb or even inherited through ancestral lines.
These trapped emotions can manifest as physical pain, emotional distress, or recurring life patterns that keep you stuck. Through this work, Cynthia St. Pierre helps you uncover the root causes of imbalance, guiding you toward emotional freedom and restored harmony.
Common results include relief from anxiety, self-sabotage, chronic fatigue, panic attacks, and emotional instability. The subconscious mind carries the full memory of your experiences, and when accessed correctly, it can reveal why you feel or react in certain ways.
There are more than sixty distinct negative emotions that can be released through this therapeutic process.
What Are Trapped Emotions
Trapped emotions are residual energy forms created by past events, trauma, or emotional suppression. Because emotions are made of energy, when they remain unprocessed they can become lodged in the body, affecting organs, tissues, and overall wellness.
These trapped energies may lead to:
Chronic pain or physical tension
Emotional overwhelm or numbness
Relationship and career challenges
Self-limiting beliefs and cycles of fear
Each trapped emotion vibrates at its own frequency and can distort the body’s natural energy field. Releasing them restores balance, improves physical function, and reawakens emotional clarity.
What Causes Emotions to Become Trapped
The subconscious mind often stores intense feelings as a survival mechanism, keeping them hidden until it feels safe to process them.
Trapped emotions may develop after:
Traumatic experiences or PTSD
Physical illness or injury
Divorce, rejection, or abandonment
Chronic stress or overwhelm
Negative self-talk and inner criticism
Grief, loss, or betrayal
These stored energies can lead to fatigue, headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, depression, or anxiety.
Emotion Release Therapy for Children
Children and teens are especially sensitive to emotional energy. They can absorb fear, sadness, or stress from their environment and carry those feelings into adulthood if not released.
Emotion Release Therapy can support children facing:
Low self-esteem or social anxiety
Learning challenges or school stress
Behavioral conditions such as ADHD, ODD, or OCD
Physical illness or unexplained fatigue
Emotional withdrawal or frequent outbursts
Trauma from bullying, divorce, or loss
By gently clearing these trapped emotions, children often regain confidence, focus, and emotional stability.
Recognizing Emotions Stored in the Body
Unprocessed emotions can reveal themselves through the body. Common signs include:
Chronic tension or unexplained aches
Difficulty expressing emotion or crying
Feeling numb, detached, or “stuck”
Overreacting to small triggers
Addictive or compulsive behaviors
Trouble maintaining intimacy
Even those devoted to spiritual practice can carry residual emotional pain. As Dr. Gabor Maté explains, trauma is not what happens to us—it is what happens within us as a result of what happened to us.
What to Expect in an Emotion Release Session
Each session lasts 60–75 minutes and can clear between 20 and 60 emotions. You may choose to focus on a specific issue or allow divine guidance to direct the process.
This is not talk therapy; you are not required to revisit painful details. Instead, Cynthia facilitates the release while you remain relaxed and receptive.
You are welcome to ask questions throughout the session. Most clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more centered afterward.
Chakra Balancing During Emotional Release
As Cynthia helps you release emotions, your Root Chakra—and often the two lower chakras—begin to open naturally.
Using breath and intention, stagnant energy is drawn upward from the Root Chakra to the Heart Chakra, where it is surrendered back to the Divine.
This restores flow through the lower energy centers, reconnecting you to life force energy and grounding you in balance and peace.
