Dr. Bradley Nelson coined the term "trapped emotions" to describe negative energies that become stuck in the body.  These energies are caused by overwhelming emotions experienced by a traumatic event.  Unprocessed trauma or intense emotions can be held in the body and impact our health and/or our mental and emotional wellbeing.  Some people would refer to these trapped emotions as our "baggage" or why we may not be able to get over something.  This isn't all in your head as these negative frequencies are stored in the physical body.  The trapped emotion may result in feeling anxious or sad, constantly feeling stressed, negative self talk or becoming quick to anger. 

The emotion code technique allows us to identify and then release these negative emotions by moving the energy along the governing meridian and out of your body and energy field entirely.  The process doesn't require a deep dive into your painful past as the emotion code teaches us that by simply identifying the emotion and the age of occurrence is usually enough to release it entirely.
