A House Full of Wonders - Part 2: Suppressing Doesn't Help

Happy New Year to everyone!

In the first part of my series A House Full of Wonders, I shared how our body is like a house full of rooms waiting to be discovered and decluttered. If you missed that post, you can catch up here.

Have you ever tried to ignore a problem, thinking, "If I don't see it, it's not really there"? Yeah, me too. But honestly, how often has that actually worked?

I’ve learned that suppression might bring temporary relief, but it’s not a long-term solution. Painful experiences and memories don’t just disappear. They linger—like dusty old boxes in a dark room. And eventually, we stumble over them in the middle of our daily lives.

It was only when I decided to face those dark rooms within me that I truly found peace. It felt like stepping into an abandoned house and opening doors, one by one. Some rooms were bright, others quite chaotic—but with every step, I let in more light, air, and warmth.

Where do you find yourself suppressing things? 🌈

In the next post, we’ll take a humorous turn: I’ll take you on a journey through the chaotic rooms of my body—and how I used an imaginary broom to bring light and order. Stay tuned for A Broom for the Soul!

If you’d like to comment or share your thoughts, you are warmly invited to do so.

Sincerely

Caroline Banz
