stories live in our bodies
stories live in our bodies
When we experience traumatic or stressful life events, we tell ourselves stories to survive. Unfortunately, the stories our minds create often cast us in the victim's role, making us powerless bystanders in the events unfolding in our lives.
Then, the stories get stuck in our minds and we are held hostage by a range of depleting emotions such as sadness, anger, fear, shame, guilt and more——emotions which when trapped, can trigger anxiety, depression, food, sex, and drug binges, and many times, even physical symptoms that defy traditional medical diagnosis from chronic fatigue to chronic physical pain.
If left unresolved, this low-vibrational state of being can lead to a life long detachment from our authentic nature, making it difficult for us to experience feelings of self-worth, deep joy, or an overall sense of life purpose and satisfaction.
