EP 472: Heal Your Body Versus Trying to Fix Your Body with Anna

Over It And On With It

In this episode of Over It and On With It, Christine Hassler dives into a heartfelt and profound coaching call with Anna, discussing the difference between healing the body and trying to fix it. Christine emphasizes the importance of understanding that when we focus too much on "fixing" ourselves, we often remain stuck in a mindset that something is inherently broken. Instead, she encourages Anna and listeners to approach the body with love, acceptance, and gratitude, viewing physical symptoms as opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth rather than burdens.

Anna opens up about her experiences with PCOS and the struggles she's faced with rigid control over her health. Through this vulnerable conversation, Christine highlights how past unmet emotional needs can manifest physically and explores how healing requires addressing those emotional roots.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Are you approaching your health and body from a mindset of fixing rather than healing?
• Do you trust your body, or do you feel like you’re in a constant struggle with it?
• How do your past experiences, especially from childhood, affect how you relate to your body today?
• Can you shift your perspective on physical symptoms from frustration to gratitude?

The Guest's Key Insights & A-HA's:

• Christine helps Anna uncover how her childhood experiences of needing to control everything have carried over into her health journey, contributing to her PCOS symptoms.
• Healing starts with self-love, trust, and understanding that symptoms often have emotional and spiritual roots.
• The body isn’t something to fix; rather, it’s an ally that signals where healing is needed.
• Embracing vulnerability and releasing the pressure to be perfect can lead to deeper emotional and physical well-being.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Acknowledge the emotional wounds: Recognize that the physical symptoms you experience, such as PCOS, may have emotional roots stemming from unmet needs in childhood. Allow yourself to feel the sadness, frustration, or grief that comes with these realizations, and begin the healing process by acknowledging these emotions.
• Release the need for control: Understand that rigid control over your health and body can often stem from past experiences. Let go of the need to micromanage every detail of your health, and trust that your body is not something to be fixed but an ally in your healing journey.
• Shift your perspective on symptoms: Instead of viewing physical ailments as obstacles, see them as signals from your body asking for deeper healing and attention. Embrace the opportunity to heal not just the physical, but also the emotional and spiritual wounds that contribute to your well-being.
• Be compassionate with yourself: Just as Anna learned to approach her body with love rather than criticism, practice giving yourself the same grace. Recognize that healing is a process, and it’s okay to not have everything figured out. Offer yourself the nurturing and care you needed as a child.
