You Thought You'd Moved On. Your Body Didn't


You Thought You'd Moved On. Your Body Didn't

Maybe You've Just Gotten Better at Avoiding It

You thought you were finally over it. You have moved on.

Life looks great on the surface. The past is no longer weighing you down like it used to.

You stay busy, spend time with loved ones.


It feels like you’ve got your life together.


Then suddenly, out of nowhere – just when you find some time to slow down, a visceral sensation starts crawling through your chest.

Feelings of overwhelm you can’t name.


Did you really move on?

Most people perceive moving on as pretending not to feel emotions. Intellectualising why you shouldn’t feel them.

Staying busy with work, friends, fitness routine or hobbies.

There’s nothing wrong with any of the above.

But when it’s done with the intent to move past the pain – you aren’t really moving on.

You’re avoiding the pain in that moment.

However, your emotions don’t run on logic.

All these emotions that are pushed away get stored in the body, creating a cellular memory.

When you’re busy, the primitive brain utilises your energy body to focus on tasks.

At the same time, emotional storage takes up a whole lot of energy.

Your emotions and your logical brain speak different languages.


You Can't Sleep?

So when you finally sit down and slow down – catching up on Netflix or doom scrolling – the emotional part of the brain notices that you’re no longer busy.

And sends up all the emotions it’s been holding onto, for you to acknowledge, process and release.


The Coping Mechanisms

Unfortunately, this is where most become a victim of their own actions.

Instead of facing the emotions, most turn to distraction – coping mechanisms to escape those emotions.

Until it becomes a vicious cycle.


Like you, I have tried moving on by keeping myself busy.

It worked for years until it didn’t.

I could no longer run and had to face years of emotional baggage that was carefully hidden behind a curated lifestyle.

And that's how I healed my chronic fatigue, high-functioning anxiety, burnout, emotional triggers and muscle/joint pain.


Maybe The Solution Isn't About Talking More!

If you are tired of talking about your problems, or can't bring yourself to open up. I understand that from my own personal experience. It can feel overwhelming. There is a less threatening and far more effective way to do this.

The first step doesn't have to be a big one.

A 15-minute conversation is enough to know if this is right for you. Book A Discovery Call.
