Low mood and emotional heaviness affect millions of people worldwide. These states can manifest in different ways—feelings of sadness, hopelessness, disconnection, or a loss of interest in daily life. While these emotional states can be triggered by external factors, their root causes often lie deeper within the subconscious mind and our personal story.
What Lies Beneath Emotional Struggles?
- Did you know that grief and low mood share many of the same emotional symptoms?
- And did you also know that many approaches focus on measuring the intensity of symptoms, rather than exploring what has happened in someone’s life that may have led to them feeling this way?
Let that settle in for a moment..
Today, more and more professionals acknowledge that these states are not simply caused by a chemical imbalance. While biology can play a role, emotional well-being often requires a more holistic view—one that considers emotional, psychological, and social dimensions of a person’s experience.
The root causes are different for everyone, but some common threads often appear:
- Inner Criticism & Low Self-Worth: Many people experience negative self-talk—harsh judgment, self-doubt, and ongoing self-criticism. These patterns can contribute to a deep sense of unworthiness or emotional heaviness.
- Disconnection & Isolation: Not feeling respected, seen, or valued by others can lead to loneliness and emotional withdrawal. We are social beings by nature, and when we feel disconnected—whether from people, nature, or our sense of purpose—it can have a powerful impact on our inner world.
- Lack of Fulfilment or Meaning: When we don’t feel aligned with a sense of direction or passion in life, it can create a sense of emptiness or stagnation. This may show up as a persistent feeling that something is missing.
“What if emotional heaviness is the heart’s way of grieving our disconnections—like the loss of purpose, connection, or inner confidence?” (Hari, 2018, Lost Connections)
The Inner Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck
Often, people dealing with persistent low mood hold limiting beliefs such as:
• “Nothing will work for me.”
• “I don’t deserve to feel better.”
• “This is just who I am now.”
These beliefs can feel like locked doors—keeping people from reaching for the support and healing they truly deserve. But beliefs are not facts—they can be re-examined, understood, and transformed.
Pathways to Emotional Transformation
From the moment we’re born, we seek connection, love, approval, and safety. As we grow, these needs evolve—into being seen, heard, celebrated, and feeling that we matter. For many, fulfilment also comes through contribution and personal growth.
Yet often we look outside ourselves to have these needs met.
A key part of emotional healing is recognising that our self-worth, meaning, and personal power come from within. It may not feel easy at first—but you can learn to meet your own needs, step by step.
“You cannot transform what you cannot fully understand—and what you cannot allow yourself to feel.”
