After many years of tears, hatred, and basically mistreating myself, I made a vow to be kind to my body, and owed it an apology.
There’s plenty of research around the body keeps the score, and how suppressed emotions around trauma can manifest into illnesses. So the path along the healing journey also includes befriending our bodies. For when we can like our bodies, we can start to feel safe in them to listen to them, and to feel what we are feeling.
Listen for my body apology, and I hope it inspires you to do the same.
