I'd like to think i've tried most therapies. Through my recovery i've tried to address what's going on in my body and my brain, whether the two link together at the same time is another matter. Much of the time the two haven't been in sync, so i've felt better when i'm not supposed to be. The logical fact that I should be better mentally when I am physically hasn't made much sense so i've ended up beating myself up for not having positive thoughts when all anyone wants is for me to be fixed.
I get that we store pain and stress in our bodies for a reason. I have witnessed this for years with my own clients and more recently observing grief. What is most difficult is when it's happening to you. I've dealt with the emotional stuff by getting it out my head through my mouth, i'm back on my bike without any fear so why is it still locked away somewhere?
Going for my monthly maintenance massage at this point in time it's all in my neck and shoulder! We talked about emotional freedom therapy and how trauma locked in the body can be released. It isn't until you start letting go of it that we can become desensitized. Not being the most patient person I must admit to wanting to just be sorted and have found the anniversary of my accident the most difficult time to deal with. Whether that's because i'd given myself a goal, other people's expectations or simply that people have said how far i've come, who knows. What I do now feel ready for is to let it out and trust that will move me on from being a pain in the neck!
