  Traits that predict chronic illness: 1. Automatic concern for other people's (emotional) needs above our own; 2. A rigid identification with duty, role and responsibility; 3. Repressed (or suppresed) healthy anger; 4. Two fatal (self-limiting) beliefs: 4.a. Responsibility for other people's emotions; 4.b. "I must not dissapoint anyone".

  I have been in a toxic trauma bonded relationship for over 25+ years. I have many many health issues. I had a heart attack before i was 40. I have major depression disorder, fibromyalgia, anxiety, ptsd, sponal stenosis, disc disease, migraines... I work full time. I need to get away because im dying. Its so hard not being able to financially care for my son & i. Ive been trying to get help with housing & its a joke.. If youre young & you have a chance to leave a toxic unhealthy environment please run fast .. Thanks to anyone that reads

  That statement, "disease as a teacher" is powerfully healing for me as a person who was diagnosed with cancer and overcoming childhood trauma.

  Ive watched Gabor Mate for so many years but this is the first time ive heard him talk about this. Ive suffered from psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis really badly since my early 30s. Ive never felt safe with my family and have been belittled. In the last two years, ive decided to keep away from them and i haven't had an arthritis flare up. I even started running again last year and ran a half marathon in April aged 54. Everything in life us getting better. 🙏

  You can't know until you know and when you do know you can't go back to not knowing

  If you're reading this right now, I just want to say; I'm rooting for you. We’re strangers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care. I know what it’s like to feel like you're pushing a boulder uphill. I felt that way until I picked up Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers I can’t explain it perfectly, but it changed my whole perspective. After checking it out on youtube and reading it things have been flowing money, peace, confidence. Maybe this is your moment too. Stay open. Wishing you more than you ever imagined! 💫💰

  Gabor speaks the truth .. I became paralyzed from food poisoning- ended up getting Gullian Barre Syndrome ..while in hospital I read his book “ when the body says NO” <s>it AWAKENEED</s> I was the C personality ( a nurse by occupation) - I saw the dots all the way back to my childhood - a lot of suppressed emotions/anger… I was fortunate to meet Gabor this year in person - and thanked him ( basically he save my life) - I healed my paralysis by healing my inner child, and culture/societal patterns- no conventional medicine went in my body - used food as medicine , removed all toxic people in my life( boundary setting) and managed my pain with meditation and mantra - I love Gabor - he is the real deal and I wish all conventional doctors would practice under his principles - our current medical systems &nbsp;needs to change desperately- we need better doctors that work with patients holistically - the first question you should be asking any patient is how was your childhood ? Start there . I now am a practising functional medicine nutritionist RN and teach people how to heal their body from the inside . Love you to Rangan ❤

  To anyone who&apos;s suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I&apos;m proud of you. I&apos;m sending you a virtual hug ❤ what helped me get out of that dark spiral was journaling and mindfulness from Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now!
