Something I’ve learned over my time as a Practitioner that I’d like to share is that the part of your brain that experiences emotional pain is the same that experiences physical pain (anterior cingulate cortex or ACC)
Stress amplifies pain because your body doesn’t separate emotional and physical threat- it responds to both.
This is why Bodywork, safe touch and down regulating the nervous system can be so powerful.
In my view pain isn’t something to fix, it’s something to listen to 🌿
