We’ve all had moments in life where we wished we could disappear—where embarrassment turned to shame, and shame turned inward, leaving a lasting emotional bruise. But what if those moments of humiliation didn’t just fade away with time? What if they lingered in your body, quietly influencing your self-worth, your confidence, and your ability to connect?
According to Dr. Bradley Nelson, author of The Emotion Code, emotions are energy—and when they aren’t fully processed, they can become “trapped” in the body. These trapped emotions may manifest as physical pain, emotional imbalance, or energetic blocks that prevent us from fully thriving. Humiliation is one of the most painful of these.
What Is the Trapped Emotion of Humiliation?
Humiliation is defined as a painful loss of pride, self-respect, or dignity—often accompanied by a deep sense of being devalued, judged, or rejected in the eyes of others. While we may try to brush off a humiliating experience, the body and subconscious mind may hold onto it.
In The Emotion Code, Dr. Nelson explains that a trapped emotion becomes lodged in the energy field, where it can distort our perception, influence our behavior, and even create physical discomfort. For many, trapped humiliation shows up as low self-esteem, difficulty asserting boundaries, fear of public speaking, or chronic feelings of “not being good enough.”
A Client’s Story: Finding Dignity Again
One client I worked with came to me after years of avoiding leadership roles, despite being deeply qualified. During our session, we uncovered a trapped emotion of humiliation stemming from a childhood classroom experience. At age ten, she had been laughed at by her peers after mispronouncing a word during a presentation. At the time, she buried her pain and tried to forget—but her subconscious never did.
Using The Emotion Code, we identified and released the emotion gently. Almost immediately, she felt lighter. In the weeks that followed, she found herself volunteering more at work and even accepted an invitation to lead a team project. “It’s like something just… lifted,” she told me. “I don’t feel that invisible wall anymore.”
How to Begin Healing
Releasing humiliation doesn’t mean forgetting the past—it means liberating yourself from its grip. In my practice, I offer guided meditations and Emotion Code sessions designed to help clients acknowledge these wounds, release the emotional energy, and reestablish a deep connection with their worth and dignity.
Here are a few gentle steps to begin your healing journey:
- Acknowledge the pain: Allow yourself to recall and validate your experience without judgment.
- Notice the physical cues: Humiliation often lives in the throat, heart, or solar plexus. Where do you feel it?
- Use intentional breathwork or visualization: Imagine the emotion as energy you can lovingly release.
- Replace it with truth: Affirm your inherent worth, dignity, and resilience.
You Are Not Defined By Your Wounds
Healing the emotion of humiliation is a profound act of self-respect. You are not your past. You are not the opinions of others. You are not the moment you were laughed at, belittled, or judged. You are a whole, radiant being—worthy of love, dignity, and peace.
