Hunched posture and hearing mom say "stand up straight" was a big theme of my childhood, and I struggle with it to this day. Never would have occurred to me it was trauma, another hallmark of my childhood. Thank you!!
Her mother was a particular source of her personal trauma, so this was more likely a physical manifestation of trauma endured from years of mistreatment and Trauma Recovery now has started to see the correlation between the posture and trauma. Funny coincidence in this case that her mother would comment on her posture that I find fascinating as well. How well meaning comments or direction from authority figures who have abused us become actual places we start to lose connection to
Universe can't bless anyone. The one who created the universe is blessing everyone. I think you are a Muslim, don't get misunderstood sister, your god is merciful.
Me too. Yoga with Adriene has been such a gentle guide of how I can still find healthy ways to move my body in the thick of significant long term illness, with pain and fatigue making movement difficult. I can alsways find something that works for how I’m feeling from Adriane’s channel. It’s been such an wonderful resource.
I’m so thankful for this video!! My therapist has been able to show me how much physical pain I carry from anxiety and trauma to the point I thought I had chrohns disease and underwent several procedures to check and all found nothing! You couldn’t believe how physically ill trauma will make you... I wish society and doctors especially could better understand this
Absolutely! More awareness should be raised around this! Trauma and negative energy gets stored in our bodies and will make us physically ill overtime. Thank you for sharing!
S A to be entirely honest just being aware that my anxiety and mental state effects my stomach helped. In moments where I feel sick again I will stop and ask myself “if I could be laying in bed rn would I feel sick?” And I for a second feel relaxed at just the thought of being in bed and I know it’s anxiety or stress and I can talk myself down. Also continuing therapy w this awareness and taking note of when it happens to identify life stressors and triggers to prevent all this
i found your channel a few days ago, actually to be honest it was the day after i was going to kill myself when your channel came in my recommended and put me on to my own healing journey. i just wanted to say thank you for putting such amazing content that genuinely helps people.
It has been said that the teacher will appear when the student is ready. I am so happy I stumbled onto you. Thank you so very much for your work. Making me feel it is possible to heal myself.
lots arises in me as I watch this video. mainly this: I'm falling, again, for another unavailable person... because the illusion and fantasy and escape of this person, is all I've got... so I let myself fall. let myself get attached. because I'm old now, and the deepest shame and agony of my life, is that I've never-ever been in an intimate-romantic relationship... and the reality of this anguishes me, consumes me. fills me with: grief, shame, rage, longing, loneliness, despair, wanting, needing, desperation... so I cling, achingly, to anyone that shows me: any attention...
Somatic experiencing therapy has been life changing. Once I found a good SEP I started going for walks. Then covid canceled my hip replacement and I was like sweet I don't need it now! Now I have a puppy I HAVE to take for walks. So powerful.
@@lakiaraduran hi! I really lucked out and found one in my hometown. She was totally awful though and possibly set me back even worse. I then found an SEP where I live and she has been amazing. I think there is a database. Let me look 🙂
Caitlyn Beley thank you so much for your help! Hooray for finding a therapist that’s amazing and helpful. I’m sorry for that crummy first one though. 💕
I’m balling rn. Never ever have I heard some one speak about a hunched posture and trauma. Stand up straight, my mother since I can remember. You lady you are the reason I wanna shrink and be small wtf. Whatever neither here nor there I’m responsible right? Right. Thank you for you words, your insight. Born the summer of my 45th year, I’m grateful to have come across you and your wisdom. Huge help in fine tuning my tools and reorganizing my ever changing tool box...hugs, love, and light 😘❤️❤️🙌
Working on my trauma body without even knowing it until watching this video! Every morning, I add drops of essential oils in my palms, take a deep riff of them, reach up high and exhale all the way down to my toes. Whatever is on my palms, I’ll gently rub on my throat where my thyroid is too. I really feel the difference and it helps me take on my stressful job each day! Bless you Dr. Nicole and your mission to help us heal from within. 💖
Thank you again for an educating/empowering video. The symptoms of trauma ive had starting in childhood are hunched posture, IBS, focus issues, & a also having a difficult time breathing/trying to catch my breath. I remember my mom taking me to the doctor 8th grade because of this due to the breathing issues. Today i know it was a symptom of the chaos going on in the home & my body responding. I cant tell you how much i appreciate you as your work is part of my healing journey.
3 years to remove it the physical pain was brutal as it left. Was hit with another trauma that uprooted a childhood trauma early in my recovery which sent my body into near shutdown. If I was not a medical professional I would be on a list of meds. I am on no medications and rarely take meds as they cause too many side effects for me. Pooping normal is amazing! Happy and healthy again after years of healing work as a full time job with over time. No debilitating physical pain and my overall energy to be active is returning. Thank you for creating and sharing your videos. If not for you and others like you so many would not be taking back their lives. A priceless gift to humanity! Endless and eternal gratitude for you and others like you!
Thank you Nicole, so applicable to me. I am so appreciative of you, you are a blessing and saviour. I feel like I can heal with the practices we are building on, to be aware, conscious , present, appreciate the boundless bounty. You are like my best friend these days 💚💜
This work and practice that you are sharing is so valuable and especially nowadays as people are either getting re-triggered or have been experiencing different levels of trauma due to what we are all going through as a collective and of course, the personal as well.
This is 100% true. I’ve worked on this for years and its true, it’s ongoing. Stresses always exist and after much time with this work, it isn’t the killer to me that it once was. I am now able to recognize stressors much more quickly than in the past and I can use these various methods that you teach, to calm down more quickly. It’s been in tandem with my morality. What I mean is that I remember who I am at these times. It slows down the fear, loss and anger etc so I’m no longer overcome and acting from the pains of the past, which lead me to trigger and just react. Another thing that has been a huge part of my recovery is asking “Who really am I and and what do I REALLY want?” Who I AM does not LIKE to behave rashly or angrily. I’m guided by bible principles which, among other things, show the beauty, health and wisdom in a calm heart.
you are literally a lifesaver. i did yoga for years but zoned out while dojng it watching tv. it did help me flexibility wise but didnt get the full benefit . love and light to you xx
Nicole's videos are such a gift to the world. I'm so grateful to have discovered the Holistic Psychologist channel. I've still got a long way to go on my own healing journey, but each time I watch one of these videos the feeling of hope grows that one day I'll finally be free of all these past traumas that have weighed me down for so long. May each of us find inner peace, happiness, self-love and wellbeing to the greatest possible degree.
Thank you. You have inspired me to go back to school for holistic health and will then get my masters in counseling to help people in a similar way. Thanks again!
thank you so much for this video 💙 i’ve always feel disconnected to my body and was always in my head, constantly having nightmares and racing heart throughout the day, unaware this was a result of trauma. you’re helping me so much on my journey. thank you so much, i’m so grateful for your content and may blessings come your way ❤️
I developed SIBO after a big traumatic event. Suffered from IBS most of my life but after this it drastically changed my quality of life. I was told by my CFM Dr that my symptoms won't heal until i heal trauma I believe that
I didn't even realize how hunched my posture was until i started horseback riding lessons, it took 2 and a half to 3 years of almost daily yoga to get my shoulders back and down, and i am still building my core and the postural chain of my glutes and back muscles, it's insane how much better i feel in my body, i recommend yoga/pilates- Yoga with Adrienne shout out, hey! She got me started, I still follow her videos, Yoga for Equestrians is great for posture, that one helped me more than any other! Also the one for the Psoas, but that's more for my wonky lower leg, haha... Any yoga is good for you, i am a skeptic about many things and i wrote it off for so long, but just being grounded in your body can make a huge difference, i truly can't recommend it enough! Especially Adrienne!
Was watching a random medical vlog and someone was using a foam roller for their back. That seems like a good one for alot of people to try. Personal massagers are another. If possible, clear out a space around you to do whatever you need to do and keep the space devoted just like you keep your bed or desk or kitchen table devoted (if you do) and If you have someone to help with a physical exercise or therapy, that can be good. There are alot of exercises or methods depending on what bodily stress they are going through. I think it’s important to pay attention to responses we might need and lookout for methods that may address our needs. It’s kind of an issue that people don’t always know how to find solutions, so sharing helps.
Dr. Nicole! Thank you so much for all the information you put out for anyone to hear. Thank you for your passion to help people that are going through what you have been through. God, bless Dr. Nicole and her mission!
Your video brought up unusual feelings and made me cry. I’m 51, divorced, and I’ve always struggled with not having sexual feelings or sensations unless I’m drunk or I’m with someone I don’t know. After listening to your video I’m excited to see if connecting to my body and working through childhood emotional neglect maybe I can make some kind of connection and heal.
I deal with chronic migraines. I recall when they started 4 years ago. I’d done some pretty awful things to my partner and it was hard for me to face some of those truths that I would have taken to the grave. Along with that, throughout life I’ve dealt with fair shares of trauma that were inflicted from my upbringing. These migraines are especially spiked during my menstrual cycle and by elevated stress levels. I feel like 4 years ago my body just hit a tipping point. No longer able to deal with more trauma. I’ve tried everything to heal from migraines. At this point, I’m willing to try these techniques. Perhaps incorporate some yoga and breathing a few times a week. I know that it will take time but it’s worth a shot. I want to heal my mind and body so badly.
My posture is beyond horrendous, it's only after watching your videos that I'm actually feeling the pain from it! I truly have been living in emotionless autopilot for so long that I didn't even feel it before.
Pre-ordering your book right now, plus a copy for my magically gifted chiro/energy healer. I adore all you put out for us - the least I can do is order your book! ♡ ps: I LOVE your daily text messages; and they feel so on-point, and just for me, EVERY time. Thank you! Plus, the heart, next to our name, Nicole is the icing on the high-vibin' messages! ❤Nicole
I have racing heart even when I am just lying down, resting. I have always ignored it but now I am concerned that fluctuating heart rate might damage blood vessels. I am giving this attention because of that and also may be because I just want to feel at peace. I don’t want my body to be at flight and fight mode all the time. It’s exhausting.
Thank you so much for the work you do and what positive self care and love you bring into the universe. You are a gift. This is resonating deeply with me, trauma and physiology. Thank you.
I absolutely love your videos, concise, the way you speak and emphasise, information on the slide. All makes for a great experience, I feel myself able to focus on you and what you are saying for the whole video.
I'm glad that this is starting to be more widely recognized and accepted, thanks to people like Dr. Gabor Mate. His book, "When the Body Says No" is brilliant.
I’ve discovered TRE to be a helpful technique to release unknown tension and trauma. It feels a bit strange at first, but is actually a very natural way to release all kinds of trauma and stress without having to revisit / re-traumatize our mind.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Your tips make the healing journey feel easier (even tho I know this judgement is the ego speaking)... It helps me take the judgement out of the journey and feel into it to bring more healing on a body level. Also, about posture, Dr. Christine Northrup says that good posture is lifting the breastbone up. She also says to spread out your arms and elongate the arms and spine... Essentially letting your heart be lifted upwards. She even mentions that she grew an inch or so after regular practice. (I hear this on her website on an audio offering.) Thank you Dr. Nicole for your insight
I have all the symptoms. Never did it occur to me that those were trauma body symptoms. Even the digestuve issue is present on me as well. Hoping to heal really soon. Thanks Dr. Nicole. I Love that you are a psychologist. I want to be too.
I have all of them except headaches. Sweaty palms was a major. We even showed to a Dr asking for the treatment for sweaty palms. I never knew it was because of trauma. So so grateful to know. Thank you
Thank you so much for your time and effort to share your great informations with us, it is virtual but I do feel your energy. God bless you 🙏🏼 Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
TY, This has to become a daily practice to be effective. At least it works that way for me. It took much time to recognize and work up to the stage I am currently. EVERYDAY is a continuous work in progress. May YOU be gentle with YOURSELF. May you begin to find things that work for you and tailor them to your personality. You ARE ENOUGH 😉. You got this 🙂. Just continue taking steps forward daily 😊. It's worth the efforts that you invest in YOURSELF 🥰. Namaste 🕊️Peace 🤸 Shalom🐵
I was born suffering from Chronic migraines, 30 years later still continue to do so among other chronic illness and the more I've studied trauma I fully believe its all intertwined. The app Simple Habit has a great meditation for headaches and Migraines (its on the free part, you don't have to pay anything just search for it) and as someone who takes shots for pain, I couldn't believe how this helped my pain levels go down during an attack! I wanted to share in case anyone here is also suffering with headaches and migraines, especailly trauma related.
An interesting thought-- my *intense* struggles with mental health started around age 13/14, (though I definitely had struggles beforehand). Interestingly enough, I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 14, which has progressed in severity side by side with my mental health. Now, the scoliosis could be genetic. BUT I think there's merit in examining the mind/body connection. Its a real thing. Thank you for this video! You always teach me SO MUCH. ❤️
Yup! I’ve noticed the correlation too. I have scoliosis and have been thinking for past few years that many people have it and it’s not genetic. It’s from trauma in the body and faulty posture and tensing the muscles and being in fight or flight mode. All intertwined with our mental health from the toxic environment. I recall a doctor talking about this on one website where he started studying the background of his patients and found the parents were over controlling and emotionally abusive. When separated the kids would stand up straight and naturally fix posture. As soon as that parent was back the teens were hunching and tensing.
I heard “Sit up straight” or “Stand up straight” all the time from my Mom as a kid, and now in my mid-50s I am still hearing it all the time from my wife.
Great video 🥰. Definitely going to try some yoga out. And I was totally triggered with the hunched back... i heard that alot growing up. Now I use a back support brace and see a chiropractor (on top of dealing with my traumas with a counselor). Have a great weekend 💙
Being numb in my body because of trauma is what lead to me overeating and subsequently gaining weight. I remember being confused because I seemingly kept gaining weight without feeling a difference in my eating routine or body but that’s because I was so disconnected from my body that I couldn’t feel when I was full when I ate or how the fast food I was eating every day made me feel nauseous. I started doing breath work a week ago and now I am feeling full/my stomach stretch when I eat too much. I am back connected with my body and I can feel again.
Weird!! In a different video you were saying to check up on your body, and my reaction was, “But I get headaches…why would I want to tune into that?” - but at some point yesterday or today, I also started wondering if my headaches were mental health related because it’s not hunger, thirst, sleep, sunlight, etc…and so maybe it’s mental health…then I woke up from a nap to this intro…and headaches is at the top of the list. Lovely…😂 So…why??
I think that another sympthom is neck and back pain resulting from tension and poor posture. This can have a debilitating effect on someone’s life. Thank you for your work. ❤️ Blessings
I resent my body for all the chronic pain it has caused me through the years. I know this isn't helping my healing, but I have trouble accepting emotional and physical pain.
I think so. I have the same experience (unexplainable fatigue) from time to time. I think we can be depressed too and not realise. I wish you peace and protection for inner and out harm. # hugs💐
Thank you so much, so many of us are disconnected. Could you please share the hand/energy link that you intended to post below? Thanks for supporting many on their jouneys in and out of their spaceships.
I was once told that "Trauma is a fact of life, but it doesn't have to be a life sentence".
Thank you Nicole, for helping us to heal :-)
:-))
I also found this video helpful
Peter Levine says that a alot :)
Hunched posture and hearing mom say "stand up straight" was a big theme of my childhood, and I struggle with it to this day. Never would have occurred to me it was trauma, another hallmark of my childhood. Thank you!!
Her mother was a particular source of her personal trauma, so this was more likely a physical manifestation of trauma endured from years of mistreatment and Trauma Recovery now has started to see the correlation between the posture and trauma. Funny coincidence in this case that her mother would comment on her posture that I find fascinating as well. How well meaning comments or direction from authority figures who have abused us become actual places we start to lose connection to
@Angelina what about it?
Same for me! My father kept telling me to "stand up straight" and I am still struggling finding myself in hunched posture very naturally.
Same here. Can't seem to stand up straight still.
My dad used to tell me "sit up, you look like a C"
You are doing such good to people, may the universe bless you with everything you want 💙
Universe can't bless anyone. The one who created the universe is blessing everyone. I think you are a Muslim, don't get misunderstood sister, your god is merciful.
💙
Total love Adriene's Yoga offerings. Make me smile when youb mentioned her.

God bless you.. Take care of yourself.. You will heal.. ❤❤❤
I'm so happy you decided otherwise
God bless you. I send you love and peace.
Don’t give up on yourself
Hope you are doing better now. Her posts and videos have helped me sooo much. Life is so hard right now....reach out to anyone if you're struggling.
It has been said that the teacher will appear when the student is ready.
I am so happy I stumbled onto you. Thank you so very much for your work. Making me
feel it is possible to heal myself.
lots arises in me
as I watch this video.
mainly this:
I'm falling,
again, for another
unavailable person...
because the illusion and fantasy and escape
of this person, is all I've got...
so I let myself fall.
let myself get attached.
because I'm old now,
and the deepest shame and agony
of my life, is that I've never-ever been
in an intimate-romantic relationship...
and the reality of this anguishes me, consumes me.
fills me with: grief, shame, rage, longing, loneliness, despair,
wanting, needing, desperation...
so I cling, achingly, to anyone
that shows me: any attention...
Somatic experiencing therapy has been life changing. Once I found a good SEP I started going for walks. Then covid canceled my hip replacement and I was like sweet I don't need it now! Now I have a puppy I HAVE to take for walks. So powerful.
How did you find your SEP? I'm just starting my search for one. Many blessings to you and your puppy!

We have moved to intentional touch in SEP work now over the zoom and it is absolutely working in a session.

As a LMT, I can literally see this in people daily. I can accurately tell a person about themselves and their personality by their physical posture.

More physio-psych videos please!! This is amazing information. Thank you so much!!
Deep belly breaths changed my life 🙌🏼 instant chills now 😊😊
I absolutely love your videos, concise, the way you speak and emphasise, information on the slide. All makes for a great experience, I feel myself able to focus on you and what you are saying for the whole video.
I'm glad that this is starting to be more widely recognized and accepted, thanks to people like Dr. Gabor Mate. His book, "When the Body Says No" is brilliant.
I’ve discovered TRE to be a helpful technique to release unknown tension and trauma. It feels a bit strange at first, but is actually a very natural way to release all kinds of trauma and stress without having to revisit / re-traumatize our mind.
Yes yes yes ,I cannot yes this comment enough 😊 its amazing
@@mtarik00 trauma release exercises ,you'll find it on you tube , seems really odd but amazing when you try them 👍
Thanks Nicole. You helped me to dust myself off and get back onto my horse with my both my unconscious and conscious baggage.,
This makes so much sense to. You explain this well ad simply. Bless you!
you have a calming voice, i like it!
Thank you for this wonderful video. Your tips make the healing journey feel easier (even tho I know this judgement is the ego speaking)... It helps me take the judgement out of the journey and feel into it to bring more healing on a body level. Also, about posture, Dr. Christine Northrup says that good posture is lifting the breastbone up. She also says to spread out your arms and elongate the arms and spine... Essentially letting your heart be lifted upwards. She even mentions that she grew an inch or so after regular practice. (I hear this on her website on an audio offering.) Thank you Dr. Nicole for your insight
Thank you so much dr. Nicole. You are an angel to me 🙂 💗
I have all the symptoms. Never did it occur to me that those were trauma body symptoms. Even the digestuve issue is present on me as well. Hoping to heal really soon. Thanks Dr. Nicole. I Love that you are a psychologist. I want to be too.
Beautiful explanation. Thank you for your wisdom and your light ❤️
One of the best videos and explanations on this I've seen, thank you!
I have all of them except headaches. Sweaty palms was a major. We even showed to a Dr asking for the treatment for sweaty palms. I never knew it was because of trauma. So so grateful to know. Thank you
Thank you so much beautiful human 🧬🙏☀️
Yin yoga and Reiki have helped me to release pent up energy from trauma and get back in touch with my body.
Thank you so much for your time and effort to share your great informations with us, it is virtual but I do feel your energy. God bless you 🙏🏼 Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Thank you for sharing these amazing techniques! 🌸
TY,
This has to become a daily practice to be effective. At least it works that way for me. It took much time to recognize and work up to the stage I am currently. EVERYDAY is a continuous work in progress.
May YOU be gentle with YOURSELF. May you begin to find things that work for you and tailor them to your personality. You ARE ENOUGH 😉. You got this 🙂. Just continue taking steps forward daily 😊. It's worth the efforts that you invest in YOURSELF 🥰.
Namaste
🕊️Peace 🤸 Shalom🐵
Thank you. Namaste!
Amasing thank you 🙏
I was born suffering from Chronic migraines, 30 years later still continue to do so among other chronic illness and the more I've studied trauma I fully believe its all intertwined. The app Simple Habit has a great meditation for headaches and Migraines (its on the free part, you don't have to pay anything just search for it) and as someone who takes shots for pain, I couldn't believe how this helped my pain levels go down during an attack! I wanted to share in case anyone here is also suffering with headaches and migraines, especailly trauma related.
Thank you.. I do suffer headache alot.. God bless you.. ❤
@@drishtik6355 Im sorry you suffer too! I hope this helps, even a little!
Thank you for the work that you do.
Totally off topic love the hair 😍😍😍
Thank you!
An interesting thought-- my *intense* struggles with mental health started around age 13/14, (though I definitely had struggles beforehand). Interestingly enough, I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 14, which has progressed in severity side by side with my mental health. Now, the scoliosis could be genetic. BUT I think there's merit in examining the mind/body connection. Its a real thing. Thank you for this video! You always teach me SO MUCH. ❤️
Yup! I’ve noticed the correlation too. I have scoliosis and have been thinking for past few years that many people have it and it’s not genetic. It’s from trauma in the body and faulty posture and tensing the muscles and being in fight or flight mode. All intertwined with our mental health from the toxic environment. I recall a doctor talking about this on one website where he started studying the background of his patients and found the parents were over controlling and emotionally abusive. When separated the kids would stand up straight and naturally fix posture. As soon as that parent was back the teens were hunching and tensing.
I heard “Sit up straight” or “Stand up straight” all the time from my Mom as a kid, and now in my mid-50s I am still hearing it all the time from my wife.
Thank you for the reminder 🙏🏼
Amazing information 🙏Thank you so much for this. So much needed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😇
circumcision is trauma also. the body remembers. and a new born baby experiencing that.
yes that is total child abuse
Great video 🥰. Definitely going to try some yoga out. And I was totally triggered with the hunched back... i heard that alot growing up. Now I use a back support brace and see a chiropractor (on top of dealing with my traumas with a counselor). Have a great weekend 💙
Thank you
I have almost all of this plus shoulder and neck tension. Still working in how to release the tension. Thanks 🙏
The racing heart started a lot this year and I always feel like I'm having a panic attack, even when I'm laying down.
Being numb in my body because of trauma is what lead to me overeating and subsequently gaining weight. I remember being confused because I seemingly kept gaining weight without feeling a difference in my eating routine or body but that’s because I was so disconnected from my body that I couldn’t feel when I was full when I ate or how the fast food I was eating every day made me feel nauseous. I started doing breath work a week ago and now I am feeling full/my stomach stretch when I eat too much. I am back connected with my body and I can feel again.
Walking and dancing helps significantly, we learned this is psych 350🥰
Thanks.
Weird!! In a different video you were saying to check up on your body, and my reaction was, “But I get headaches…why would I want to tune into that?” - but at some point yesterday or today, I also started wondering if my headaches were mental health related because it’s not hunger, thirst, sleep, sunlight, etc…and so maybe it’s mental health…then I woke up from a nap to this intro…and headaches is at the top of the list. Lovely…😂 So…why??
You’re great at what you do 🔥 thank you for another insightful msg. Each vid hits home and helps me
This seems easy but to notice our body mid conflict will be very hard.
I think that another sympthom is neck and back pain resulting from tension and poor posture. This can have a debilitating effect on someone’s life. Thank you for your work. ❤️ Blessings
Look up The work of Dr. Sarno and also Nicole Sachs
I resent my body for all the chronic pain it has caused me through the years. I know this isn't helping my healing, but I have trouble accepting emotional and physical pain.
Would you link the hand energy video please? Sounds great.
ohhh i just love you. big inspiration :)
An incredible video as always. It happens to me too, and I have chronic fatigue even when I eat and sleep well. Could it be another symptom?
I think so. I have the same experience (unexplainable fatigue) from time to time. I think we can be depressed too and not realise.
I wish you peace and protection for inner and out harm. # hugs💐
I needed this thank you!
Thank you so much, so many of us are disconnected. Could you please share the hand/energy link that you intended to post below? Thanks for supporting many on their jouneys in and out of their spaceships.
So true! 💝✨Thank you! 🤗
Deep belly breaths is what I do for vocal training. And it often hurts. So that explains why I feel like crying while doing it or don't want to.
Love your videos ❤️
Wow my mother also always told me to stand up right . As early as 11 I was always hunched over.
Great video, thank you
I identified with many of the feelings and experiences you describe
It sounds so hard but it is the small things that will lead to healing :)
I had all of these symptoms and my doctors would just prescribe a pills 🙌🏾
4:14 could you link the vid for the hand energy techniques?? 🤗
