My favorite party trick: I'm gonna find your hurty spots and touch them 🤗
I have spent many years of my life learning from pain, about pain. Physically taxing jobs, mental and emotional overload, surgeries, and illness. Those all showed me different personalities of pain.
I was inspired by an amazing physical therapist that I spent several days a week with for years. She talked through everything. What she was observing, feeling and why it mattered. Her knowledge fascinated me! The ways bodies converse with us is expansive.
I knew growing up I wanted to be in some type of helping career. A therapist, nurse, social worker hairstylist. They all sounded good to me I went to school for social work and never stepped foot into the field. My daughter grew up to be a phenomenal hair stylist. And the other things well, they kinda fall under modern day hippie with a good amount of knowledge around all the "...ologies"
Sociology, biology, embryology, astrology..and a few others that are absolutely involved but don't end in "ology". The studies of humans and how their environment affects them. Internal, external, it all causes some imbalance and our bodies communicate that imbalance to us.
I listen to bodies. They are great story tellers. Most days of the work week I am asked "How do you find the spots!?" or "I didn't even know it hurt there but wow!"
Bodies are complex and simple at the same time. The pain will speak and I'm here to listen.
