I truly believe – and mounting evidence supports – that one of the core contributing factors of cancer and chronic health conditions, such as mood disorders (depression/anxiety), auto-immune challenges, chronic fatigue/pain, and fibromyalgia are unresolved emotions and trauma. 

 

We now know that emotions (energy in motion) get stored in the body if they are now allowed to ‘move through’. When we avoid or ’stuff’ negative/unpleasant emotions, they don’t go away. Instead, the become lodged in the body and over time, cause disease (dis-ease).

 

In 2011, my mother passed away from cancer. Six years earlier, she had been diagnosed with Stage 3C cancer (out of 4). Not great odds for recovery…but, the amazing thing is she actually beat it. After going through a holistic healing regimen that involved juicing, colonics, and other dietary changes, along with inspirational support, it was gone! A perfect bill of health! She even wrote a book about her journey. 

 

What didn’t get addressed though in that year of healing were the emotional wounds and trauma from her her past. 

 

Her fiancé in college was in a car accident that left him in a vegetative state and then after marrying my father, she lost three baby boys that she carried to term between me and my sister – twins and another son. I remember visiting their gravesites as a child. 

 

But, there was work and raising me and probably not time to really grieve – not to mention we weren’t really taught how to. And my father didn’t allow us to show emotions – you know, the ‘stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about’ routine. I know it was a pattern from his upbringing, but it caused a lot of dysfunction and pain in our family and they eventually divorced. …and I’m sure there were plenty of other emotional wounds and traumas, as there are for all of us. 

 

My mother remarried and he cared for and supported her to the end. In her journaling however, and in conversations she had with me after the cancer came back with a vengeance, she couldn’t shake the mental and emotional anguish. 

 

At the time, I didn’t have the tools and knowledge that I now have. While I wish I had, what she went through led me to the path I’m now on. It sparked years of study and research on cancer and healing from it holistically. 

 

Then, I began to experience more health issues myself with chronic fatigue and pain throughout my body and auto-immune symptomology, on top of my existing  bouts of anxiety and depression. While the holistic health route helped some, there was still something missing. 

 

It wasn’t until I began clearing the unresolved trauma and emotions from my past that I truly found the health and happiness that I once didn’t think was possible. 

 

When you have repetitive thoughts that bubble up the surface, especially around emotionally charged events, your unconscious mind is presenting it for processing and resolution. Pain in the body is also a sign from your unconscious mind of unresolved emotions. Too often, we ignore the messages and continue to live in pain, struggle, and suffering. 

 

Healing the root cause is powerful and freeing! When you heal at the root, you don’t have to re-experience all the trauma. There are processes to release unresolved emotions without re-living them. This coupled with tools to process emotions as they arise is life changing!
