I have been doing one-on-one therapy for years, and the power of being in this sacred space on air really moves me. Today Whitney Rydman and I have a frank and heart opening conversation about grief and loss, feeling unseen and unheard, and all the symptoms that can express those issues in our bodies. We connect body image and perfectionism to fibro pain, and become really clear about dealing with the symptom imperative. What a great session! I'm thrilled to share it with you.
