The Inner Critic of Fibromyalgia
People that show up with fibromyalgia or irritable bowel syndrome, these physical symptoms are essentially the trauma showing up in your system. So I think what happens is that this trauma gets put into us rather than express it in an emotional way and it may be more socially acceptable to show up as a physical illness. We encode these traumas when we are younger and they get put into us because our amygdala has no sense of time keeps us trapped in that pain of the past. Part of us still feels like we are stuck back in that place in time and we can't get out of it.
