Every cell in our body is made up of energy and when we have too much or too little in any area, we may not feel our best. Emotions have a big impact on our bodies and unlike animals that will literally shake out their stress immediately after it happens, humans tend to suppress and hold on to those emotions, which can then wreak havoc on our wellbeing. I had some negative childhood experiences that I hid due to fear and shame. I became a people pleaser and perfectionist, who then developed an eating disorder which perpetuated self-loathing.
