Holding Emotions In...

Biden-Memorial

Nov 10 2009
Army Spc. Chas Clark, who was wounded during a previous attack in Afghanistan, speaks on behalf of Spc. Jared Stanker, one of seven U.S. Army soldiers honored during a memorial service at Fort Lewis, Washington, Tuesday, November 10, 2009. The soldiers were killed by an IED in Afghanistan on October 27, 2009.


Take a look at the soldier in the background who is holding his hand in front of his mouth. I often see this immediately after a stressful or violent episode, here we see the soldier feeling internal stress and subconsciously he is controlling emotion.

Our mouths are the source of sound and it is the way we communicate. Subconciously we cover our mouths to control the emotion...even though there is not a direct correlation between our mouths and emotions... it does work.◦

That's my son at the podium. He's done a good job of dealing with his emotions, his faith in God provided a great foundation for dealing with stuff.
