Health issues: candida, tendonitis and bottled-up rape trauma
Symptoms: I had candida, a stomach issue that felt like an ulcer, and tendonitis in my right, dominant, arm. This was all coupled with a decades-old bottled-up rape trauma that I had yet to release.
Health recommendations: I began yoga, meditation and massage for stress management. I also sought out the advice of a naturopathic doctor skilled in acupuncture. She was able to treat my elbow, along with a few other body aches. She also provided nutritional advice, and supplementation for managing the candida. Plus, she provided me with some much needed counselling for the rape. I had bottled this up for years, and it felt like such a relief to let it out.
The results: This all resulted in much healing; my arm mended over time, the candida subsided and the ulceric feeling vanished. My energy levels increased, along with my flexibility and core stability through yoga. My diet slowly evolved away from drinking wine on a nightly basis, coupled with the eradication of deli meats, to eventually giving up meat altogether. I am on the path to self-actualization, constantly exploring new avenues of self and how I am affected by my surroundings. And I have forgiven and let go of the rape trauma I experienced at age 21.
