The Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love, and Happiness (Updated and Expanded Edition)

by Bradley Nelson

One evening, Jean and I were sitting and talking together. Rhett was sitting on Jean’s lap. I opened my arms to him to give him a hug. Again, he pushed me away and said, “Bad doctor! Away!” This time it felt like my heart might break. I could feel the heartache welling up within my chest, and I felt like I was going to cry. My wife said, “You know, maybe he has a trapped emotion.” Up until that point, we had only treated adults for trapped emotions. We decided to check Rhett and see. Using the Emotion Code, we found that he did have a trapped emotion. The emotion was grief. But he hadn’t created this emotion; it had actually originated with me! In fact, it didn’t even have anything to do with Rhett. My daughter and I were having an argument one day; I experienced an emotion of grief, and Rhett witnessed the argument and absorbed that negative energy into his body. (We’ll discuss absorbed trapped emotions like this later on.) We released the trapped grief, and to my amazement, Rhett walked right over to me and put his arms around me. As I cried and held my little boy, I was astonished and excited at the same time. If my son could be changed so instantaneously by simply removing a trapped emotion, then how many other children could be helped?
