Jackie believes if we don't know how to properly deal with and release our emotions during these stressful events, they remain in our bodies until a later time when the body feels it is safe to release them. Unfortunately for runners, these suppressed emotions often show up as running pain and running injuries. She believes we need to learn how to deal with these sensations in a positive way and allow them to easily move in and out of our bodies.
