Health & Healing
Have you ever felt like you’re running in circles, navigating persistent health issues, emotional overwhelm, or symptoms that just won’t shift, no matter what you try? You’ve read the books, taken the supplements, followed the steps. And still, something feels off.
Despite all your efforts to move forward, you don’t feel like the master of your life. Instead, you’re left feeling vulnerable, caught in a cycle of searching, hoping, and second-guessing. That sense of being blocked can be deeply frustrating. Even exhausting.
But what if the real path forward isn’t about pushing harder…
What if it’s about listening more deeply, to the symptoms as messages your body and mind have been sending all along?
Mind-Body Connection
To understand your body’s messages, it’s important to know that most of us habitually operate from the conscious mind, the logical part that tries to make sense of every experience.
Beneath that is the unconscious mind, which speaks a different language. It doesn’t rely on logic. Its priority is survival: keeping your heart beating, your lungs breathing, and guiding you through body sensations like a “gut feeling”, what we often call intuition.
This distinction matters deeply when it comes to health.
Yes, your logical mind can assess the benefits of medicine, vitamins, diet, and rest. But your unconscious mind is always scanning for threats. It activates the stress response to help you escape danger or to signal that something in your environment feels unsafe or unmet.
But what if you’re simply going about your day, and suddenly your body reacts with an emotional trigger that seems to come out of nowhere? Maybe someone says something like “You’re talking to a brick wall,” or maybe they say nothing at all but give you a tense look, and suddenly your stress levels spike.
This is a powerful mismatch.
Your logical mind knows you can speak for yourself and that everything is okay. But your unconscious mind is on a different path. It activates stress and adrenaline to signal that something is wrong. In that moment, it’s as if you’re a child again, automatically reaching for the coping strategies that once helped you feel safe and accepted.
The Conscious Mind
Rational thinking “Makes sense”
Criteria and checklists
Data and facts
Linear steps and clear outcomes
This part of you is brilliant at solving problems, but it doesn’t always have access to deeper emotional truths or safety signals.
The Unconscious Mind
Felt sense over logic
Emotion over explanation
Symbols, dreams, and metaphors
Body cues like breath, posture, and tension
This part of you is wise in ways that can’t be measured. It speaks through intuition, reaction, and resonance; not through words or plans.
Emotional Triggers & Your Health
You know those moments when you’re triggered, confused, and overwhelmed. Someone says something about you, and your body reacts, “That doesn’t match who I am,” and the words freeze in your throat. You can’t think logically, and there’s a good reason for that. In those moments, your unconscious mind has taken over, scanning behind the scenes for memories of past triggers and how you adapted or recovered back then.
It remembers the rules you learned as a child:
- If I spoke up, I got in trouble.
- I faced silent treatment when I shared my thoughts.
- I was guilted into staying quiet.
These memories become signals to your body:
“If I speak, I’ll be misunderstood. I’ll have to over-explain.”
Your mind scrambles for the “right” words.
The pressure to get it perfect triggers a stress response:
- Heart racing
- Immune system weakening
- A pull to shut down rather than speak
When the trigger is strong, your body speaks louder:
- A sore throat that lingers
- Fatigue that won’t lift
- Anxiety that loops without reason
These aren’t random symptoms. They’re messages from your unconscious mind, protecting you from the pain of not being heard or approved.
Inner Protector: The Unconscious Mind
Your unconscious mind is your inner guardian.
It regulates your body, tracks emotional patterns, and stores the lessons you learned in childhood.
If your caregivers felt safe and secure, you learned to value yourself, ask for what you need, and trust your voice.
If your environment was unpredictable or emotionally charged, you adapted by taking on roles that helped you maintain connection:
- The pleaser
- The responsible one
- The invisible one
These roles are survival strategies, shaped by your nervous system’s need for safety.
They carry beliefs like:
“If I keep the peace, I will be loved, safe, and accepted.”
You may feel drawn to fix, rescue, or anticipate others’ needs.
You may feel compelled to hold everything together.
These patterns are familiar because they once worked; they helped you stay safe.
During stress, conflict, or vulnerability, these strategies often take the lead.
You might step into the role of problem solver, believing:
“This is how I belong. This is how I’m loved. This is how I stay safe.”
Meanwhile, others may seek connection through drama or chaos, pulling you into familiar dynamics.
What role did you take on to create harmony in your family?
How did you adapt to feel safe?
As a child in an unpredictable home, you might have learned to:
• Please everyone to keep the peace
• Stay quiet or invisible to avoid getting in trouble
• Take on too much responsibility to feel needed or loved.
These strategies helped you feel safe.
These patterns were useful once, but now, they keep you stuck. When you ignore your own needs, and constantly scan for problems…
- Your body stays in survival mode
- You brace for what others need to be accepted
- Over time, this can lead to burnout, resentment, and chronic health issues.
When It Becomes Chronic
Sometimes protective patterns stay switched on.
They loop on repeat, and your body keeps sounding the alarm, even when the original danger is no longer present.
- Your throat tightens when speaking feels unsafe, especially if past attempts led to exclusion, confrontation, or being shut down.
- Fatigue settles in as your system braces against stress, sensing that it’s too costly to try and get your needs met.
- You hear it in your voice: “I don’t know,” spoken to avoid being made wrong.
- Anxiety loops as your nervous system scans for threats it learned to expect long ago, anticipating that life might pull the rug out from under you again.
These are intelligent responses, finely tuned by your lived experience.
Your unconscious mind is designed to protect you. It constantly scans for cues of danger and guides your reactions to keep you safe.
Over time, these protective patterns become deeply embedded.
They shape your choices, influence your relationships, and define how much space you feel allowed to take up.
When they remain active beyond the original threat, they quietly limit your capacity to step into the vibrant, expansive life that’s calling you forward.
Why More Energy Doesn’t Always Help
Many people assume that more energy is the solution.
They try new modalities, add supplements, or increase their vitamin intake to boost their system and bring in support.
But when your unconscious mind doesn’t trust support, especially if childhood taught you that tending to others meant ignoring your own needs, more energy doesn’t bring relief.
It increases your capacity to perform, but not your capacity to receive.
You appear more capable, more independent, more available.
And when others don’t consider your needs, that extra energy becomes costly.
In fact, when you look stronger, some people become more combative, chaotic, or demanding.
So, your body steps in.
It uses fatigue as a protective strategy:
- To help you escape the tension.
- To slow you down
- To pull you away from “shoulding” yourself into meeting others’ expectations
Sound familiar?
When logic says “rest, recover, strategise,” but nothing shifts, it’s often because your nervous system learned to conserve energy for survival, not for abundance.
As a child, you learned that being polite, helpful, and well-mannered made things easier.
You adapted by becoming the one who soothed, supported, or stayed quiet.
You weren’t taught to delegate, validate yourself internally, or challenge authority.
These adaptations kept you safe.
And your body still remembers.
The Logical Box
Sometimes we try to heal using logic alone, thinking through solutions, making plans, trying to “figure it out.” But the real instructions for healing often live outside that logical box. They’re written in the language of your body and breath, tucked into the patterns you repeat and the sensations you feel.
These instructions become clearer when you slow down, soften, and let support in. That’s the paradox: to access the deeper guidance your system holds, you need to feel supported. Letting yourself be held isn’t weakness; it’s a way for your nervous system to experience safety in connection, not just in isolation.
As your welcome support, the protective walls you’ve built start to loosen. Your unconscious mind begins to feel heard, and something inside you exhales.
Fatigue starts to lift. The tightness in your throat eases. The looping anxiety quiets. In that space, you begin to honour your own needs and rewrite the map of your future.
Questions Worth Considering
- What was going on in your life when you became sick?
- What’s the worst thing that could happen if you healed right now?
- What are the benefits of being unwell?
- What good or bad might you miss out on if you healed now?
- What is this sickness teaching you about what you value, versus what you’ve handed over to others?
What Happens When We Do This Inner Work
Clients often say, “At first, this coaching doesn’t make sense.”
And they’re right, because it’s not about thinking your way through healing.
It’s about doing what feels right for your body and your nervous system.
It’s about going deeper, to the root causes of fatigue and illness that live in your unconscious mind, often shaped by childhood experiences.
But after a few weeks, something shifts.
- Your shoulders start to relax. You’re not bracing all the time.
- That urge to snack when you’re stressed fades, and real hunger cues return.
- Your mind feels clearer. You remember things, follow conversations, and even daydream again.
- You sigh with relief instead of holding tension in your chest.
- You speak up more easily. Your thoughts and feelings finally have space to come out.
As your body relaxes and old habits loosen, fear no longer runs the show.
Your inner wisdom, the part of you that’s always known what’s true, steps forward.
And suddenly, it all makes sense.
When you look at the real cost of chronic illness, missed workdays, low energy, and the emotional toll of trying to fix everything alone, and compare that to the value of expert support that helps you release emotions, regulate your nervous system, and change long-held patterns, the choice becomes clear.
Rewriting Your Story
As you do this work, you begin to see those old survival strategies for what they are:
Helpful once but no longer needed.
You realise you’re not destined to be rejected or abandoned just because you speak your truth.
You start choosing people who value you, and feel free to walk away when they don’t.
You give yourself permission to ask for what you need, without second-guessing or over-explaining.
You set new boundaries that protect your energy and honour your heart.
This is what freedom looks like:
Living from choice instead of habit.
Letting your own voice lead the way.
