Lets use the example of a person suppressing their emotion to illustrate the Twelve Nidanas of dependent origination.
1. Ignorance (avijja): The person lacks understanding of the true nature of reality, including the impermanence and emptiness of phenomena.
2. Mental formations (sankhara): Due to ignorance, the person has formed habitual patterns of suppressing their emotions.
3. Consciousness (viññana): The persons consciousness is conditioned by these mental formations, making them prone to suppressing their emotions.
4. Name and form (nama-rupa): The persons body and mind manifest in a way that is susceptible to suppressing their emotions.
5. The six sense bases (salayatana): The persons sense organs interact with the external world, but they try to block the stimuli that may cause their emotion to arise.
6. Contact (phassa): The person encounters a situation or stimulus that would usually trigger a certain emotion, such as sadness, but they try to avoid experiencing that emotion.
7. Feeling (vedana): As the person tries to suppress their emotion, they may still feel a vague sense of discomfort or unease from the situation or stimulus they tried to avoid.
8. Craving (tanha): The person may develop a craving for the absence of the emotion they are suppressing, believing this will remove their discomfort and discomfort in the future.
9. Clinging (upadana): The persons attachment to suppressing their emotion intensifies, leading them to believe that it is necessary to suppress their emotion for their well-being.
10. Becoming (bhava): This clinging to suppressing their emotion reinforces the persons habitual patterns and karmic tendencies, perpetuating the cycle of suppression.
11. Birth (jati): The persons suppression of emotions manifests in the form of pain, tension, or other physical or psychological symptoms.
12. Old age and death (jara-marana): The persons suppression of emotions can lead to physical, mental, and emotional suffering and perpetuate negative consequences in future situations or even future lives.
This example illustrates how the Twelve Nidanas can apply to the suppression of emotion. By understanding dependent origination and recognizing the interdependence of the Twelve Links, a person can cultivate mindfulness, and work towards accepting and understanding their emotions, leading to greater peace and freedom from suffering.

How to break cycle at each point:

Here is how to break the cycle of suppressing emotions at each point:
1. Ignorance (avijja): The first step to breaking the cycle of suppressing emotions is to acknowledge and understand the true nature of emotions. This involves developing an awareness of impermanence and interdependence of emotions and recognizing that all emotions are natural and valid.
2. Mental formations (sankhara): To break the cycle of mental formations that lead to the habitual suppression of emotions, the person needs to develop new patterns of acceptance and non-judgment towards their emotional experiences. This can involve learning new coping strategies and seeking support from meditation teachers or therapists.
3. Consciousness (viññana): By becoming mindful of the minds processes with regards to suppressing emotions, the person can cultivate awareness of how they respond emotionally to different situations. This can help them to recognize the triggers that lead to suppressing emotions consciously or unconsciously.
4. Name and form (nama-rupa): As the person becomes more aware of their emotional experiences, they can learn to observe and accept them, rather than identifying with them. This can help reduce the attachment to avoidant patterns that seem to define their identity.
5. The six sense bases (salayatana): Instead of avoiding emotional stimuli, the person can learn how to observe and respond healthily to them. This can involve learning new communication skills and building emotional resilience.
6. Contact (phassa): By developing mindfulness of emotional triggers, the person can learn to respond more skillfully to them, reducing internal psychological tension.
7. Feeling (vedana): By learning to accept and experience emotions rather than suppress them, the person can experience a sense of release and greater emotional freedom.
8. Craving (tanha): With acceptance and greater awareness of emotions, the need to avoid or suppress them can reduce, diminishing the craving for their absence.
9. Clinging (upadana): As emotional acceptance becomes a habit, the person can let go of attachment to suppressing emotions, reducing clinging to old patterns.
10. Becoming (bhava): As the person learns to respond more skillfully to emotions and develop greater self-awareness, they can break the cycle of perpetuated patterns of suppression and avoidance.
11. Birth (jati): As a result of greater emotional freedom and acceptance, physical and psychological symptoms related to suppressed emotions can reduce, leading to less suffering.
12. Old age and death (jara-marana): By breaking the cycle of suppression of emotions, the person can experience greater well-being and reduce the likelihood of suffering related to physical and mental health issues in old age.
