i just read this and it had such a profound impact on me i wanted to write it as a quick post but its too long
“It’s common to push the body hard, ignore its needs until they get intense, and tune out its signals…People can also get mad at the body and even mean to it…But if you do any of these things, you’ll end up paying a big price, since you are not separated from your body after all. Its needs and pleasures and pains are your own. Its fate will be your own someday.”

u cant plough a field by turning it over in ur mind!

Hi Catriona, Another book

Hi Catriona,
Another book that you might like on this topic is Christiane Northrup's 'Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom'. It's a huge book - the size can be a bit intimidating! - but it is really well-written, and easy to read. She's a medical doctor, but writes about the underlying emotional basis for many illnesses, and also has a chapter about emotional self-care.
