Paper Title
Emotional Suppression and Its Impact on Physical Health using Data Driven Insights

Abstract
Emotional suppression or repression is an act of consciously or unconsciously pushing down emotions. Chronic suppression or pushing away of emotion for a long period of time can impact our health and have a negative effect, causing various diseases like cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune disorders. This paper examines the impact of suppressing one’s emotions on their long-term health. Our project, EMO-CALM, aims to integrate AI with emotional health to create awareness among communities and shed light on another aspect that can accelerate patients’ healing journeys. EMO-CALM is broadly trained on the book ”Metaphysical Anatomy: Your Body Is Talking, Are You Listening?” by Evette A. Rose. It helps individuals become aware of their emotional wounds buried in the unconscious and guides them to take steps toward healing by encouraging self- reflection, grounding, meditation, shadow work, or inner work. As the saying goes, ”Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” Keywords - Emotional suppression, Chronic diseases, AI and emotional health, Chatbot
