I would disagree that the heart is the root of emotions. Methinks that's a cultural myth.
It seems helpful to me to work with the EMotion as Energy in Motion. If it gets stuck anywhere I'm in trouble.
I tend to get into that trouble because energy rushing around on its own in my body (rather than presumably directed by my mind and will) is always overwhelming, confusing and disorienting. I missed a safe place in early childhood where EVERYBODY feels this overwhelm (2 - 3 years old?) and it's supposed to be okay as you work it out. So I have the emotions of a toddler with my considerable capabilities. Eeeeeek. And I shut it all down. Gee . . . can't imagine why that would cause problems and a tendency to explosiveness . . .
As far as the heart, I experience people having two different heart chakras, almost but not quite on top of each other. The green one seems to be about universal love and connection. The pink one seems to be about specific interpersonals - lovers, some friends, (CATS!!!! and in my case the occaisional special rock) Friends and family are harder because they tend to mix the green and pink. People with strong heart connections seem to have a preference toward one or the other -- I encounter very few people who are balanced.
Within all that green/pink context, people seem to have a preference toward either giving or receiving.
Sometimes when I read your words I suspect that you give well with your green chakra but feel a near overwhelming need to receive through your pink chakra at a level that leaves you constantly disappointed.
I have a feeling that the key for you might be in adjusting the mix between those and doing something with that smaller teal/turquoise colored chakra just above over the thymus.
Somehow these are the places that seem to connect us in the human world.
