Psychosomatic root causes of Hashimoto's... The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck, around our throat. That body part is also where our voice box is located. Metaphorically speaking, thyroid rules our own voice and self-expression, acceptance, and fear. We get a lump in our throats when we cannot swallow a hard truth and when we are afraid to speak up. Others might grab us by our throat to silence us, suppress us and humiliate us. The constricted throat is associated with suffocation and extreme grief. Those of us who suffer from an autoimmune condition of the thyroid and its interactivity struggle with self-expression, self-sabotage, and fear of speaking up. We fear to break free from upsetting circumstances. We fear to make a mistake. We come from a childhood where feeling guilty kept us safe from painful consequences. Hashi patients have a strong personal or ancestral history of physical and sexual abuse, suppression and threat coming from influential people. We feel unprotected. No wonder why so many Eastern European women have this condition given the abuse we received before and after WW2. Hashimoto's patients also feel burdened by too much responsibility; they feel manipulated into accepting and carrying other people's stuff. If you have this condition like me, I invite you today to explore your genealogical tree. Who in your family felt suppressed and unprotected (by parents, by the state, by the government in times of war)? Who in your family feared self-expression? Ant then explores your earliest memories of feeling suppressed, silenced and burdened. Do you feel the correlation between how this condition makes you feel and the above-mentioned emotions? #psychosomaticrootcause #selfhealing #hashimotos #thyroid #suppression #lowthyroid #stress #healing #functionalmedicine #healhashimotos #healthyfood #womanthyroid #femalethyroid #femalehealth https://www.instagram.com/alwaystheheart/p/BuYzdJBnx9B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vejn29k8p8jb
