The body keeps the score! this is the latest book I have been listening on audible recently and has made me think a lot that the endo or better said my endo is a result of a lifetime trauma.
the childhood trauma, the secondary trauma from our parents, the relationship traumas, the trauma of not being able to talk about a lot of things in life and having to keep all that inside and supress it. the lack of self compassion, the lack of understanding our minds etc.
The only upside of the lockdown for me ( apart from painting every fence and door at home and all the other DIY) is that I have had the time to think about myself and listen to myself more.
I have listen to how I treat myself, to push to the limits and punish myself for not doing things that should get done. not listening to my body when needs the rest and give it, and a lot of other things in between.
my question to all of you is, have you ever though of it this way?
has anyone else going down the route of a therapy as way of healing endo or part of it of it least?
I have tried all the other routes, The painkillers, and hot water bottles, all the vitamins and mineral, all the diet, all the reflexology, all the physio, all the complimentary therapies, all the organic stuff, all that this forum has covered and every women out there has tried.
I have an ottoman at home which I call it the endo vault. I keep all the stuff there that helps me manage the pains and aches of flares up.
I realised I have another vault in my head ( traumas) that need to be open and looked into it, dealt with in order for my body not to keep the score any longer in the form of the endo.
would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
take care and love yourself!
