“It’s just me🤷🏻‍♀️” or “It”s just how I do things🤷🏻‍♀️” Typically refers to backing out of a commitment or avoiding responsibility, often through excuses or by taking the easy way out. It can be seen as an evasion or escape from facing up to something. Could it be partly confessing to a lesser issue to avoid facing responsibility for larger feelings or actions?

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
• Avoiding responsibility:
•Essentially an attempt to avoid dealing with a difficult situation or a challenging task by taking a less demanding route. This can occur for many reasons.

Excuses:
•Often, using excuses to justify not fulfilling a commitment or avoiding a responsibility.
•Taking responsibility for one's actions means acknowledging and accepting accountability for one's choices and their consequences, both positive and negative.
It involves being honest about your role in a situation and being willing to face the outcomes. This includes owning up to mistakes, learning from them, and making amends when necessary, rather than blaming others or external factors. •Counselling can be a great way to get support on this journey.

🔥 “Scars Hold More Than You Think”

The Silent Blockages Affecting Your Lymphatic System, Detox & Emotions

We often think of scars as healed wounds — closed chapters, no longer relevant to our health.
But what if I told you… your scars might be silently disrupting your body’s healing every single day?

This isn’t just theory.
It’s a deeply overlooked reality in both lymphatic health and emotional healing.

🧬 Scars = Blockages Beneath the Surface

When the skin is cut — through injury, surgery, or trauma — it doesn’t just affect the surface.
It cuts through fascia, disrupts lymphatic vessels, and can imprint itself in the nervous system.

As the body heals, scar tissue forms like glue. It binds. It tightens. It anchors.
And while this is necessary for wound closure, it often creates long-term stagnation in:
• Lymphatic drainage pathways
• Fascial flow and elasticity
• Neurovascular signaling
• Energetic and emotional processing

🌿 Common Types of “Stuck” Scars
• C-section or abdominal scars → Can block pelvic, digestive, and leg drainage
• Appendectomy scars → May affect colon motility and lymphatic gut support
• Thyroid or neck scars → Can limit vagus nerve tone and upper chest/cervical lymph flow
• Breast surgery/lumpectomy scars → Can congest axillary (armpit) and chest nodes
• Knee/hip surgery scars → May impair lower limb drainage and create chronic inflammation

You may feel fine… but your body remembers.

💥 Symptoms of Lymphatic or Fascial Blockage from Scars:
• Puffiness or swelling that won’t go away
• Tightness, pulling, or discomfort around the scar
• Poor digestion or bloating near abdominal scars
• Fatigue, brain fog, or a feeling of “being stuck”
• Emotional release or unexpected tears during scar work

Because trauma isn’t just held in the mind — it’s stored in the fascia, and it affects the lymph.

✨ How to Release the Scar and Restore the Flow:

Here’s the good news — scars can be softened, healed, and released.

Tools for Scar Healing:
• 🌿 Castor oil packs – to soften adhesions and improve circulation
• ✨ Red light therapy – to stimulate regeneration and collagen remodeling
• 🤲 Gentle lymphatic massage – to support drainage and decrease congestion
• 💨 Fascial release therapy – to unglue and rehydrate connective tissue
• 🪡 Dry needling or advanced scar release techniques – only by trained professionals
• 🕊️ Emotional somatic release – especially for trauma-related scars

🧠 Final WOW:

A scar might be only a few centimeters long…
But it can block the entire flow of detox, emotion, and energy.

🌬️ Where lymph cannot flow, inflammation grows.
🌸 Where fascia cannot move, emotions get stuck.
⚡ Where trauma isn’t released, healing can’t complete.

So if you’ve tried everything — and something still feels “stuck” — maybe the answer is… your scar.

Let healing rise beneath the surface.
Because every inch of your body deserves to flow freely again.

There’s PTSD, and then there’s C-PTSD.
And NO — they are not the same.

PTSD is surviving a crash.
C-PTSD is growing up inside the wreckage.

PTSD comes from a single event.
C-PTSD is repeated trauma — the kind that happens in childhood, in relationships, behind closed doors, over and over, until your brain, body, and soul forget what safety even is.

C-PTSD isn’t just Fear.
It’s emotional flashbacks, numbness, shame, people-pleasing, rage, panic, dissociation — all wrapped in silence because most of the world has no idea how deep it goes.

This isn’t mood swings.
It’s a survival system stuck on high.

If someone with C-PTSD seems intense, distant, reactive, shut down, or too much — remember : they were wired to survive Hell.

So show some respect.
They’re not being dramatic.
They’re being rebuilt.
