Chronic issues on the left side of the body indicated a deeper emotional conflict stemming from trauma and grief. Following the end of an abusive relationship, significant life events took a toll, leading to physical manifestations of unresolved emotions. The author recognized that the drive for resilience led to abandoning vulnerable parts of oneself, neglecting emotional needs in favor of function. Acknowledging this experience is crucial for healing and reconnection with one's true self.
The body always leads us home... if we're willing to listen.
At one point, I even developed pain in my left ovary and numbness in my left arm that made everyday tasks difficult.
But the cost of staying 'strong' was that I stopped being real.
I realize I didn't just leave a relationship. I left myself.
