The article explores the topic of suppression of emotion, using the example to illustrate the Twelve Nidanas of dependent origination. The cycle begins with ignorance about the true nature of emotions, leading to habitual patterns of suppressing emotions. The persons consciousness becomes conditioned by these patterns, making them prone to suppressing their emotions. The cycle continues through physical manifestations of this suppression, leading to further attachment and suffering. To break this cycle, one must develop awareness of the phenomenon and develop new patterns of acceptance and non-judgment towards emotional experiences. This entails learning new coping strategies and seeking support from meditation teachers or therapists. As one becomes more mindful of their emotional experiences, they can observe, accept and experience emotions, rather than identify with them. With greater awareness of emotional triggers, one can learn to respond more skillfully to them, reducing internal psychological tension. With acceptance and greater awareness of emotions, the need to avoid or suppress them can be reduced, diminishing the craving for the absence. As emotional acceptance becomes a habit, one can let go of attachment to suppressing emotions, reducing clinging to old patterns, and the perpetuated cycle of suppression and avoidance can be broken.
