There are really two big pieces to resolving emotional conflict. The first step is to do the deep emotional work of fully resolving that trauma from your past. You also need to support the body and your immune system while you work on that resolution. This will ease the effect of dis-ease on your body when you enter the healing phase. When I work with clients, we integrate functional nutrition with emotional work, as well as supporting the immune system and detoxing the body safely. Body, mind, and spirit! That’s the holistic approach. How to Begin Resolving Emotional Trauma When helping clients to resolve their emotional trauma, I give them specific exercises to practice releasing on the emotional level. These exercises are designed to keep them moving forward and releasing their trauma, so they don’t get stuck in the symptoms of a hanging healing. Here’s something you can start doing at home. If you’ve got grudges, anger, and resentment, it’s just hurting you. Let it go. This helps you to get through that healing phase, move on and be healthy again. I also think it’s incredibly important to help your children to resolve their emotional stuff when it comes up.

It will help you understand this blog more easily and help you shed light on your own root cause. Now I’m going to help you look back over your life up to this point so you can discover what emotional traumas might have triggered your health problems. Mapping Out Your Timeline Think about your life as a timeline. From the point of your conception until the day you become independent and leave home, your brain is recording every single thing that’s ever happened to you. The good, the bad, the ugly. Some of those things you resolve, and some of those things you don’t resolve.   Once you leave home, your brain stops recording, says to itself, “Ok we are alive. This was a successful program. Let’s rinse and repeat that recording.”   Whatever age you became independent, your life will now run in cycles of that number. Let’s use me as an example. I became independent at 20. At 20 I started paving my own way in life. I had a job and my parents weren’t supporting

We are learning about how our biology is working to help us survive, and keep you alive, even if it’s running a program for illness. Now I’m going to walk you through the 3 phases of disease! Phase One: Conflict This conflict phase begins immediately when the trauma happens. The emotional trauma marks your brain, affects your body and begins to try to figure out a way to resolve the trauma on its own. For example, when I was 3 years old and was taken away from my home and father in the middle of the night: TRAUMA, shock, and conflict hit my brain. I experienced a Separation conflict as well as a Loss conflict. One of two things happens in this conflict active stage: depending upon the type of trauma, your tissue is breaking down, or you’re building a mass of tissue. The whole time that I was separated from my father, I had no idea I was in a conflict. My brain was saying, “We’re going to be breaking down her skin, the organ which represents separation, while we’re in this conflict.” When you’re in this conflict active stage, you don’t really have symptoms. You don’t even know

I believe that early emotional trauma sets us up for disease later in life, especially cancer. I also believe that given the right tools, we have the power to heal ourselves. How do I know this? Well, you might already know that I’ve healed myself naturally from aggressive stage 3 Ovarian Cancer and Lyme Disease that was eating my brain. When we go through a trauma, we are so focused on getting through and surviving the situation that we don’t think about dealing with the emotional effects. Especially traumas that happen when we are children. Young brains don’t have the ability to process and resolve trauma in a healthy way yet! Then over time, our bodies begin to manifest those effects physically. How Emotional Trauma Affects the Brain Any time we experience a conflict, or a shock, or a trauma, it hits our brain, body, and psyche simultaneously. The type of trauma that we experience determines which area of the brain it hits and therefore the body part affected. Emotional trauma leaves a mark on the brain that you can actually see on a no-contrast brain CT. I’ve done my brain scan twice and I can see where shocks and

Our last article in the emotional root cause series is on a much asked about topic: weight loss resistance. If you are overweight and have consistently struggled to lose weight even if you’re doing everything “right,” it might be time to look at the emotional root causes of a difficulty losing weight. Overall, the emotional root cause of being overweight and struggling to lose weight has to do with a sense of trying to protect oneself. The area of the body where weight is being held is the specific area where you might feel weak or insecure. The reason the body packs on fat is to insulate yourself from a threat. That threat could be from from any of the 4 sources we dive into below: feelings of abandonment, isolation, refugee, or existence. Abandonment Overweight ties to feelings of abandonment. In the wild, for a baby animal abandonment equals death because the baby will no longer receive nourishment from its mother. This is why the body goes into fat storage mode to preserve itself as long as possible. For example, a child could experience feelings of abandonment when given up for adoption, when a parent leaves the home, or a
