Help! I'm Hypermobile Ep 007 Feeling Things Differently: Hypermobility and Feelings (and Small Fibre Neuropathy)
Feeling things can be complicated when you're hypermobile!
That's why in today's episode of Help! I'm Hypermobile Alex is talking all about FEELINGS!
Here is what you will learn:
- what hypermobility feels like (based on her personal experience, what her patients say, as well as what she has learned from this community)
- why asking a hypemobile person if they're in pain might not be a simple question
- why when you hear the word "nerve" you need to be thinking "CONNECTIVE TISSUE"
- and what small fibre neuropathy is (and some tips + strategies for dealing with it)
and finally,
- what your literal "6th sense" of interoception is and why it can play such a role in the lived experience of being hypermobile
