Comments on: WHERE DOES PAIN IN YOUR BODY ORIGINATE FROM? https://artistsretreat.co.za/where-does-pain-in-your-body-originate-from/ Just another WordPress site Tue, 06 Jul 2021 06:55:32 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mariette Maartens https://artistsretreat.co.za/where-does-pain-in-your-body-originate-from/#comment-10 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 06:55:32 +0000 https://artistsretreat.co.za/?p=96#comment-10 I can really relate to this description. As a counsellor, I have often encountered exactly the same what is described here. Being a counsellor and assisting others with their pain and trauma, does not exonerate you from similar pain. We are all human, flesh and blood – and we are all going through similar challenges.

As soon as we suppress our emotions/conflict/worries, our bodies keep score. I have often experienced a spastic colon; burning in my stomach, heart palpitations. Instead of working through this by voicing it, it is much more ‘private’ to take medication to further conceal your state of mind from others. It only enhances the problem and the long term after effects of ‘hiding away in our misery’ may become colossal.

Cilla has been in this field for many years, and I have experienced her honest, empathic, therapeutic approach. She has brought great relief whenever I encounter an emotional hiccup.
