The Body Keeps Carrying What the Mind Avoids

I used to think being strong meant pushing through.

Ignoring exhaustion. Suppressing emotion. Staying functional no matter what was happening internally.

But eventually, my body started speaking in ways I could no longer ignore.

What I've learned is that healing is not becoming less emotional. It's becoming less afraid of your emotions.

In this week's Thread from My Heart, I explore the connection between emotional suppression, the nervous system and the physical symptoms that often emerge when we spend years carrying what was never meant to be carried alone.

Your body is not betraying you.

It is communicating.
