“It is a joy to be hidden but disaster not to be found.” “Here is a picture of a child establishing a private self that is not communicating, and at the same time wanting to communicate and to be found. It is a sophisticated game of hide-and-seek in which it is a joy to be hidden but disaster not to be found.” ― Donald Winnicott,

Tips from Dr Tovah...Healthy, Strong and Flexible Body
USE IT, MOVE IT, ACCEPT YOUR FEAR"
It is important to slowly get back to regular execise with self compassion and trust that you will be okay.
Many of us know how this plays out with chronic pain and fear of moving.
Most times when I work with chronic pain patients; small amounts of moderate movement is just what the muscles, joints and entire body need.
Guided by a qualified health professional is the best thing you can do to get back to a much needed routine of movement.
Exercise is the most natural anti-depressant and can contribute so much to a stagnant lifestyle
There are many ways to start...

Insights from Rose
Anxiety Pathways.
In the self help literature there is little mention of anxiety and how it shows up in Striated Muscle-eg. Fibromyalgia, back pain, muscle tension, chest pain.
Smooth Muscle eg. stomach issues, constipation IBS diarrhoea, respiratory problems migranes etc.
Or Cognitive Perceptual Disruption which is experienced by fainting, blurred vision, hearing issues, difficulties thinking, loosing track of thoughts.
So why am I experiencing anxiety?
Anxiety is triggered by unconscious emotions, (feeling that have not reached conscious awareness).
Anxiety is triggered by something going on inside/internally you.
It is different to fear which is triggered by an external threat.
We then experience defenses to ward off the anxiety.
Working with your therapist you will begin to recognise these anxiety pathways and the defenses that are triggered when a feeling is supressed.
