A trapped emotion is an emotion felt but not fully processed. Hence, it becomes a stuck emotion, trapped energy that was either ignored, "stuffed," or otherwise not felt to fruition to fully feel the length and breadth of whatever we personally needed to experience. We may have purposely ignored the pain of the emotion of shame to not feel deep pain and hurt. Consequently, our body "held" onto that energy and it became a hindrance to us.
