What is emotional baggage?
Emotional baggage is a popular term for the build-up of emotions from negative experiences.  Emotional baggage is usually caused by a build-up of emotional blocks.

What is an emotional block?
An emotional block occurs when a person consciously or subconsciously decides not to deal with the emotions that arise from a negative experience.  Some methods of blocking unpleasant experiences are through suppression, shutting down, ignoring the experience, forgetting what happened, avoidance, and many others.  These temporarily provide relief but the emotional blocks can build up and cause emotional baggage if the experience is not processed properly.
 
How does one get emotional baggage?
Negative experiences can cause a person to subconsciously or consciously respond ineffectively to situations, conditions or other things that remind them of the experience.  This could lead to an increase in emotional baggage and cause all kinds of problems.  Emotional baggage causes health issues, psychological issues, career stalls, relationships problems, financial problems and others.

Is there a way to get rid of emotional baggage?
Yes, there are several ways:
  • A person can just wait for time to pass in hopes that the emotion will process itself.  This may work sometimes but it requires a lot of patience and may leave some unresolved issues.
  •  The person may just forget what happened but unfortunately the experience may linger in the subconscious mind and still negatively impact the person. 
  • Talking it out with friends and family is a popular way to process baggage. An attentive, caring, objective, interested and honest person is needed to help someone effectively process emotions with this method. The listener must not be judgmental or try to force their perspective on the speaker.
  • Therapy and counseling are another way to process emotional baggage. These methods usually work best if the right therapist is found and is affordable.  Though it may take a shorter time than just waiting for the emotional baggage to clear itself, some negative experiences can take years to process completely with therapy or counseling. Unfortunately in some societies there is a stigma attached to seeing a mental health professional; this causes some people not to use this effective method.  There is nothing wrong with utilizing professional mental health services and getting the care that can help you to lead a better life. 
  • There are alternative methods that utilize energy and bodywork, spiritual healing and other methods.  These methods are generally effective if the right technique is used. There is a wide range to choose from and a person should find the one that works for them.
How long does it take to process emotional baggage?
It depends on the method used and the negative experience being processed, as well as other factors. Some negative experiences may be processed in minutes while others may take longer. The main focus should be on effectively processing the experience so that it can no longer have a negative impact.
