Most women I speak to canât answer basic questions about their body.
Not because they donât careâbut because theyâre used to living from the neck up.
In my consults, I ask simple things:
â¨How are your bowel movements?
â¨Do you feel complete after?
â¨What does your bleed look likeâcolour, flow, timing?
These are baseline markers of health.
And when the answer is âI donât know,â it points to a disconnect.
But itâs not just physical.
Thereâs a deeper layer here.
Why are we so out of relationship with our body in the first place?
Why donât we have the space, time, or awareness to notice whatâs happening on a basic level?
âChronic busyness.
âLiving in survival mode.
âBeing taught to override discomfort instead of listen to it.
âDisconnecting as a way to cope, perform, or keep up.
Over time, that becomes the norm.
So itâs not just about learning your symptoms.
Itâs about understanding the patternsâphysiological and psychologicalâthat keep you disconnected.
This is where the work starts.
Not with more information, but with paying attention again.
