🪞 UnShaming Reflections
When something shows up in your body, what's your first move?
For most of us, it's "How do I make this stop?"
Headache? Take a pill. Tight shoulders? Push through. Fatigue? More coffee. Stomach pain? Something must be wrong.
We've been trained to treat every body signal as a problem to eliminate. But in unshaming, we learn something radical: symptoms are messengers. And the message is different for every person. A stomachache in one woman might be saying, "I need to complain more. I'm swallowing too much." In another, it might be saying, "There's a burning boundary in here that I'm not expressing." The symptom isn't the problem. Getting rid of it without hearing what it has to say, that's where we lose something important.
This week's reflection:
🤔 Think about a physical symptom that keeps returning for you. The headache, the tight jaw, the knot in your stomach, the fatigue. Instead of asking "How do I get rid of this?", try asking: "If this symptom could speak, what would it say? What might it be asking for that I haven't been willing to give?" Your body's intelligence is personal. It's not generic advice. It's medicine made specifically for you.
