🦋 What if...you could ask yourself what your body needs today? 🦋
It can be so frustrating when it feels like your body is against you. I spent almost a year a couple of years ago wondering if I would ever feel ok again.
Knowing what I know now, I know that the frustration and desperation to get better will have kept those symptoms alive...the headaches, the feeling sick, the tension all over my body, my ears feeling weird, feeling drained, the overthinking the feeling of not knowing who I was anymore.
It was when I had solution focused hypnotherapy that those symptoms made sense.
They were never the enemy, they were trying to alert me to change.
When explained the brain to me as we do in this therapy I was like woah ...you have literally just explained my whole life in approx 20 minutes!
All of it made sense. I had been living in a survival state since I lost my Dad aged 12, and the later losses of loved ones and just things from general life piling up made the whispers I'd never really listened to became SCREAMS!
Within weeks those symptoms eased and it led me on a big healing journey because I was curious to do more to understand all of this. I now feel better than I ever did in my mind and body.
I can't pretend it was easy especially in those days that needed so much belief and faith that things will be ok.
BUT...
Now I am beyond grateful. I feel so much more in tune with my body. I listen to how it feels. If I am tired I rest. If there are times of the month that are harder I honour that. I am continuing a journey of self discovery and maintaining everything I've learned along the way.
Ultimately everything I experienced was a dysregulated nervous system.
When we regulate again, our body no longer feels alarmed and it stops screaming for help.
A lot of chronic conditions are underpinned by a dysregulated nervous system too.
Once we reconnect with ourselves, listen to what we need, symptoms ease.
I have had clients who have found this too.
Let this be your message of hope
And a sign to listen to your body
It holds more wisdom than you think!
