4 Signs You're Emotionally STONEWALLING Yourself

4 Signs You're Emotionally STONEWALLING Yourself

Most people think stonewalling is something that happens between two people.
But the truth is far quieter — and far more personal.

In this video, we break down the signs you’re emotionally stonewalling yourself and the hidden mental health patterns that make you shut down your own feelings before anyone else ever sees them. This includes psychological concepts like pre-emptive self-silencing, meta-emotional invalidation, and a subtle form of emotional numbness often called alexithymia lite — when you feel something in your body but can’t translate it into words.

We explore how the mind becomes emotionally uninformed over time, why you disconnect from your inner signals, and how experiential avoidance makes you choose distraction, busyness, or “being fine” instead of facing your emotional truth.

Drawing from Carl Jung, Jungian psychology, and modern emotional intelligence research, this video looks at:
-the psychology of people who shut themselves down
-how childhood patterns shape self-avoidance
-what emotional stonewalling looks like on the inside
-why the mind builds an internal “wall” to stay safe
-how to reconnect with emotions without being overwhelmed
-how personal growth and self-improvement begin with honesty
-small steps to develop emotional intelligence and break the cycle

If you're interested in psychology, personal development, mental health, self-improvement, or the deeper side of Carl Jung’s shadow work, this video will help you understand yourself in a new way.
