Tears are far more powerful than they seem. They’re not just salty water; they’re a reflection of what’s happening deep within us—a physical release of emotional tension that allows the body to reset.
When we cry emotional tears, the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)—the part of our nervous system responsible for calming us—takes over. Our heart rate slows, our breathing deepens, and our entire body begins to relax. It’s no wonder we often feel lighter after crying, as if the weight of the world has momentarily lifted.
Emotional tears are even chemically distinct. Unlike the tears that keep our eyes moist or flush out irritants, emotional tears contain stress hormones like ACTH and leucine enkephalin, a natural painkiller. It’s as though each tear is helping us flush out emotional tension, releasing what no longer serves us and leaving space for clarity and peace.
This brings me to Sandra, one of the unforgettable individuals featured in my book, P.O. Confidential.
Sandra’s story is one that shook me deeply. It’s a story of loss, resilience, and ultimately, transformation. In working with her, I felt tears that didn’t fall, but settled in my own silence—tears that recalibrated my body and my thinking mind. Sandra’s journey reminded me of the power of emotional release, not just for her, but for me as well.
Her story is a testament to the raw humanity we all carry. Without giving too much away, Sandra had been holding onto something so personal and profound that it weighed on her physically and emotionally. As we worked together, the release of that weight became a moment of quiet catharsis—one that will stay with me forever.
