In this short clip I discuss how hidden, unknown stress can make us sick.

Research is showing clearly that the following can, and do affect our health :

•       Not feeling your feelings. Suppressed anger in particular.
•          Anxiety & depression
•          Loneliness and absence of social support  emotionally deficient relationships
•      Fear
•      Negative thinking
•      Denial  
•      Coping mechanisms : 
•      Avoidance, denial, addiction, people pleasing, co-dependency
•          Wanting to be in control of everything 
•       Toughing it out all the time and keeping it together no matter what
•       Needing to look good and be liked
•           Low self-worth
•       Not being able to say no
•       Not being able to draw boundaries
•           Threatened loss of love
•            Insomnia

Research has also shown that the following experiences, among many others, in a person’s past, especially up to age of 7 years old, can affect health or trigger disease:

•      Abuse 
•         Abandonment 
•         Learning not to express feelings as a child 
•        Considering others above ourselves all the time
•         Incapable or can’t say no in childhood and as an adult develop excessive dutifulness
•         If we become our mother’s protector as children 
•        A child's humiliation, impotence and bottled rage  

Diseases being shown to be related

•       Cancer
•          Autoimmune 
•          Chronic fatigue 
•          Rheumatoid arthritis 
•          Lupus
•         Inflammatory bowel disorders
•         Rheumatoid arthritis 
•          MS
•          Diabetes

We will be discussing all of the above more in longer Episodes.
