When you’re not feeling well and dealing with symptoms due to your condition, it can sometimes feel overwhelming.
For instance, when I was first diagnosed with candida, I dealt with a rash that covered my torso; recurrent sinus infections (4 infections and 6 courses of antibiotics in 3 months); foggy thinking; overwhelming fatigue; constipation, bloating and cramps; stomach pain; occasional heart palpitations; depression; anxiety; and overwhelming sugar cravings. . . just to mention the most obvious symptoms.
So often when I begin to work with clients, they bring their own laundry list of symptoms that are, at the least, annoying; and at worst, debilitating.
So it’s no wonder that we can become obsessed with getting rid of those symptoms.
For me, this meant hours and hours scouring the internet for possible treatments, new doctors, or some random piece of information that related to my own situation and would provide the magic bullet to clear my candida.
And while it’s totally understandable and justifiable to want to be rid of your symptoms, spending all your conscious energy and free time focusing on them may not be the healthiest approach.
In this week’s video, I talk about how you are not your symptoms–and what that means to you and your healing journey.
