The Power of the Mind-Body Connection
Understanding and acknowledging our emotions is vital to our overall well-being. Sadly, many of us have experienced emotional pain in our past that has left a lasting impact on how we perceive and process our feelings.
For some, this means shutting off our emotions entirely in order to cope with childhood trauma. On the other hand, there are those who are hyper-aware of every emotional shift they experience, leading to an increased risk of health problems. The key is to find a healthy balance and take care of ourselves emotionally.
One of my clients had been struggling with chronic pain throughout their entire body. She had been subjected to abuse by a grandparent, causing her excruciating abdominal pain that never really went away.
Her struggle didn’t stop there, though. She also had an autoimmune condition that would amplify if she ever became emotionally stressed. She had to endure the physical and emotional pain for years, but a breakthrough finally came.
While working with her, I helped to discover and release her trapped emotions. As a result her chronic back pain subsided from an 8/10 to a more manageable 5/10. This is a true testament to the power of the mind-body connection and the strength of the human spirit!
The physical pain this person was experiencing due to abuse was truly overwhelming. But once she was able to release those emotions, she found relief from the physical suffering.
The nerves in her body were under immense stress from the unresolved trauma, which was causing her immense discomfort.
Facing those deep-rooted feelings head-on took away the power they had over her, and in turn, eased her physical agony.
