Thank you for sharing SO MUCH of your journey here and so openly 🙏
I am fascinated by other chronic illness journeys in addition to my own.
I feel the way we approach it has everything to do with how we heal (as opposed to what we do and how much of it we do and how perfectly we get it right etc).
I am also deeply intrigued by the part our belief system has to play with our wellness (or lack thereof).
I’ve only recently heard of the emotion codes, I know someone who does it and will be embarking on this journey myself at some point.
For me, it all changed when I woke up to the newfound belief one day that “I matter. My health matters”. From that moment on I learned to let my body lead the way. So it didn’t matter insomuch as what I did (one by one I went on to do alllll the things) but it felt more connected to where I started from, the energy I gave to it and the body led approach that guided me step by step. All in the direction it is that I wanted to go - even though I had no idea if I would get there. I could never see the whole road ahead, only ever the next step.
It’s been brutal of course. Mountain climb after mountain climb. Treacherous. Vastly misunderstood. But the improvements to my health have been significant, year upon year upon year. And that, to me, was the most important thing.
It’s only now I can see why the world thought I was crazy and when I look back on how my life is now, I can see why what I’ve achieved is deemed impossible. Because I fully understand and appreciate what it’s taken.
Please, keep me updated on your journey with the emotion codes. Very intrigued about this.
Yes we matter and our health matters. And I don't know if it's a case of getting there wherever there is. I feel now it's more like totally accepting where I am now. All of it and because I have come to this place things I thought mattered seem to matter less. Things I want to manifest I still want but feel completely unattached to whether they happen or not. Well mostly anyway. 😅 💜
It took me a while to ponder this... And maybbe this is a bit too deep?! 😂 I knew the answer was kind of yes and no from what I have experienced but I needed time to clarify for myself why that is.
I don't think a lot of people know what they want, they just want to FEEL better. They may be seeking happiness or the next thing they think is going to make them happy but from external things or people. Clients I have worked with (and myself included way back when) often didn't know what they really wanted due to unresolved trauma and conditioning in a society that only accepts certain ways of being. Being disconnected from our core being makes it very difficult to feel into what we really want. Often we had to begin with what they didn't want.
Tuning into how we want to FEEL is the powerful first step. 💜
Too deep? Neverrrrrr ! 🤩 we’re speaking the same language here. I see this a lot woth clients too. Complete disability by illness whilst simultaneously finding myself without mortgage insurance, sick pay or immediate family to help in its own way forced me to sit with my needs and what it was I actually wanted. In a way I’d never done before or connected with.
The thing with wanting to feel better is that (exactly as you say) you have to feel. In a world where we’ve been taught to suppress how we feel !!!! Numb them out. See them as weakness. There’s a lot of unlearning and relearning to do.
If we met in real life you and I would have SO MUCH to talk about!!
Rock bottoms can be so productive! Not everyone has the wherewithall to know what to do though and I wish more people would reach out for help.
But yes, suppression of emotions and repression of our true authentic selves makes us numb. It stops us being able to make aligned decisions for our own wellbeing and ability to nurture our nature.
We must have a proper chat some day but I sense we'd have to have a clear boundary on the length of time or we could be chopsing all day! 🤣
😆😂🤣 you know us both so well 😂🤣 we would need that kind of boundary !
Def singing from the same hymn sheet here.
Asking for help is def a big one - it took the aforementioned for me to do it the first time. And when I did, guess what? I was told there was none. Brutal as it was at the time, I knew that my needs were not going to be met by that service. Therefore no point in continuing to bang my head against the metaphorical wall in the way i had done for the previous 20 years. And it opened up space for me to find it elsewhere (which took some time and in the first instance, it meant going within. Supporting myself in ways that I could to begin with - something the neurologist discouraged me from)
That took a lot of courage and insight but sounds like it came out of desperation. 😬 If you were to find a friend in a similar situation now what would be the most important piece of advice you would give them in order to start supporting themselves? 💜
What a lovely share, and a great conversation. I recently listened to a seminar lead by Luis Mojica about Fawning....when appeasing others while ignoring our body's messages. Sometimes it's in our favour to do this....at a job interview, for instance or in a threatening situation to keep ourselves safe. When we are aware we can heal the trauma stored in our body. So interesting!
Emotion Code and Body Code are great healing modalities to heal the body of trapped trauma. I have friends and family who are practitioners and feel so grateful to be able to tap into these.
Yes fawning is not a concept that's widely talked about yet but it's a really important piece in understanding our nervous system and how we can help ourselves.
One of the problems is it's such an unconscious behaviour we don't even realise what we're doing. It just feels like that's what we have to do. Like we don't have a choice.
That's why it's so important to come back home to our authentic selves. 😊

Acceptance is a very powerful part of the process. And being at peace with where you’re at….well, isn’t that what we all want?
