Your body has the capacity to heal itself, restore balance, and scan your environment to inform you of what’s really happening. This is the philosophy I believe in, the one I practice with the people I help, and the one that has helped me heal from the inside out. Let me share this philosophy with you.
Think about it: your body contains so many vital systems, like your heart. It’s a miracle. Is there any machine as perfect as your heart? It has been beating since the day it was formed in your mother’s womb and continues without you consciously controlling it. Similarly, your digestive system converts food into energy, and you don’t have to think about the mechanics of it; it just happens.
Why am I sharing this with you? To help you understand that if your body is capable of running these complex, miraculous systems, it is also equipped to help you survive and thrive in any environment. That’s why, when you’re with a narcissist, it tells you more than your conscious mind can perceive. The narcissist puts up a facade, fooling you into thinking they are wonderful, but your body picks up on the truth.
That’s when the symptoms begin. Your body is activating the survival response, bracing for impact because it knows there’s more to come. The stomach aches are a form of your body “crying,” knowing that future emotional pain will be overwhelming. The migraines and other physical symptoms are warnings that the emotional trauma you’re about to experience will be far worse. But we tend to suppress these feelings, dismissing them as trivial.
