If you want to heal from literally anything, the first step is to create safety in your body.
Hi, I'm Tama and I healed my acid reflux many years ago and now I help people do that.
So safety can mean different things to different people.
The kind of safety you might be creating is just that you have a really good plan and you're deciding to stick to that plan.
It might be that you know that if this doesn't work, then you know what you're going to try next. That might be creating safety for you.
Creating safety might be somatic. It might be doing yoga, doing meditation, sleeping enough, making sure that you're really present during your meals and enjoying your food. Experiencing your food as a healing thing.
Instead of telling yourself," Oh, no, this is gonna make me more sick." telling yourself it will make you healthy but also because you're confident it's not going to make you more sick (that's part of the plan, not eating things that harm you).
So that goes back to the plan again. I think a lot of times it does go back to having a plan that you believe in and that you're going to commit to because then you can feel safety and you are going to do this thing. and it's gonna work.
And then if it doesn't, you're on to the next thing at some point, but you can't be on to the next thing also if you don't do the plan fully.
So having a plan and fully doing it, I think is a really big step.
And then part of that plan is creating bodily safety, creating structure or routine, or just practices, mindset work to sink into the comfort of doing the thing.
There's more to this, but that's the first part.
