The Top 5 Hidden Blocks Women Don’t Know They’re Holding (and How to Clear Them)

As women, we do so much to become the best version of ourselves—reading the books, doing the journaling, saying the affirmations. But sometimes we still feel stuck.

Many of the blocks holding us back aren’t visible on the surface. They’re buried in the subconscious, stored in the body, or even passed down through our family line. After working with many women through energy healing, I’ve identified 5 powerful blocks that often go unnoticed.

Awareness is the first step toward healing, so once you know what to look for you can begin making progress.

1. Inherited Emotional Baggage

One of the most interesting blocks I see in clients is inherited emotional energy—emotions passed down from parents, grandparents, or even further back in your family line. You can actually inherit trapped emotions at the moment of conception.

For example, your grandmother’s unresolved grief, your great-grandfather’s fear, or your mother’s anxiety could be energetically passed to you. These inherited emotions can stay trapped in your body and influence your mood, behavior, relationships, and even health—without you realizing why.

They don’t show up in your conscious thoughts, but they can create deep emotional imprints, hiding in the background of your life.

Through the Emotion Code and Body Code, these inherited patterns can be identified and released—freeing you from emotional energy that was never yours to begin with. Once cleared, clients often feel lighter, more peaceful, and more themselves.

2. Subconscious Beliefs About Worthiness

Even if you say you want abundance, love, or success… your subconscious mind might not believe you deserve it. That internal misalignment creates resistance and self-sabotage.

Many of us carry subconscious belief programs like:

• “I’m not good enough.”

• “I have to struggle to be worthy.”

• “Success isn’t safe.”

• “I don’t deserve to be seen.”

• “If I succeed, others will leave me.”

These beliefs often formed in childhood—sometimes even in early school experiences or family dynamics—and are stored beneath the surface.

The Belief Code allows us to identify and shift these deep-rooted programs so your inner truth aligns with what you consciously desire. When your subconscious finally believes you’re worthy, opportunities begin to flow more naturally.

3. Trapped Emotions from Past Trauma (Even “Small” Ones)

Trauma isn’t about the size of the event—it’s about how your nervous system experienced it at the time.

What feels traumatic to a child may not seem like a big deal to an adult. And what overwhelms you in one season of life might roll off your back in another. Emotional “bandwidth” plays a huge role in how experiences impact us.

Your body stores the emotional energy from these moments—moments that may have felt like rejection, fear, embarrassment, or heartbreak—and that energy can remain stuck, continuing to affect how you feel and react.

The Emotion Code can gently release those trapped emotional layers, helping you move from reacting to life from old wounds to responding from a calm, present place. Many clients feel immediate relief once these emotions are cleared.

4. Imbalances in the Heart-Wall

Most people don’t know they’re walking around with an energetic “wall” around their heart. This wall, made up of trapped emotional energy, is built by the subconscious to protect you from further emotional pain.

The Heart-Wall can be helpful during hard times but if it stays in place too long, it can cause major issues—like difficulty feeling or expressing love, emotional numbness, creative blocks, and disconnection from others, and yourself.

Unless you’ve had it consciously cleared, you likely have a Heart-Wall. And even if you’ve released it once, it can rebuild during new seasons of stress or grief.

Clearing the Heart-Wall is one of the most powerful and freeing parts of energy healing. Clients often feel a deeper sense of love, joy, intuition, and emotional freedom once their heart energy is no longer blocked.

5. Unconscious Loyalty to Family Struggles or Patterns

This one runs deep—and is often completely outside of our awareness.

Many women subconsciously limit their success, happiness, or visibility out of loyalty to their family of origin. We might hold ourselves back from earning more than our parents did… from having a healthy marriage when our relatives struggled, or from being in the spotlight if no one else in our family ever has.

You might even fear that if you become “too successful,” you’ll upset your siblings or be left out of the family dynamic. The fear of leaving others behind can keep you stuck at a level that feels “acceptable” to the group.

Once you see this subconscious loyalty for what it is—love and fear mixed together—you can honor your past while choosing a new path.

Final Thoughts:
If you’re doing all the things and still not seeing the breakthrough you want, something deeper might be the problem.

Energy healing helps you access and clear these invisible blocks so you can finally move forward with clarity, alignment, and freedom.
