This is so profound. For those of us who have been sexually abused especially. I think we find ourselves in traumatic experiences as adults because our body needs to process what we could not process as children. It’s like you describe in your fascia video - we need another human to bump up against for the release to be successful. We simply can’t admit to or face the pain as young people. Thank you for your videos. Your presence and the way you describe everything is super relatable and meaningful for me. ❤

I am so glad for you that you found a way out. 🎉 I have lived in my torture chamber for 40 years now. I am 49.I don't feel connected with my body at all.😔. It only gives me pain. I recognize the tension. I can't relax at all! I am also very traumatized but I feel like it wasn't bad enough to be traumatized. I feel like I don't have the right to be traumatized. That it wasn't worse enough. I feel like I am a poser. There are so many people who have it so much worse. I don't know how to get out!

[@ElishaCeleste]

The big lesson I learned during the experience I described in this video (when I admitted the truth and felt my body relax) is that fighting pain and resisting "what is" (reality) is the real cause of chronic pain. Fear of pain creates more pain. Resistance to pain causes more pain. Trying to get out of pain causes more pain. The pain could be physical or emotional, these principles apply equally. After accepting that I was utterly traumatized in 2004, it took me until 2011 - 7 YEARS - to break free of that prison for good. From 2004 to 2011, I focused on healing emotionally without trying to get rid of any physical pain in my body (I simply accepted it). I've been working with people in chronic pain for 15+ years, and acceptance of the pain is the most difficult step in the transformational process. But we cannot change what we're unwilling to accept. 💛

Try not to compare your traumatic experiences with other people's. There will always be people who've "had it worse" but don't let that negate your feelings. You have every right to however you feel. Also, if the feelings seem too immature or like you're overreacting, it could be an inner child part of you who never got over something and you could work on that now. I had a couple very different kinds of childhood traumas that affected me at 5 and 9 yrs old. I have helped heal the 5 yo; the 9 yo I'm still working on her. Another thing--sometimes neglect seems like something that isn't traumatic, and that "shouldn't affect me" but that can be even worse than single event traumas. Idk if that applies to you--where you didn't get something you needed. It's not always somebody did something bad to you.

I completely relate to not feeling emotions… and my body has been speaking volumes to me, yet since I found you on KZbin … I’m looking at life differently, yet to actually feel an emotion is brutal because I have not been allowed to express myself since childhood…

[@ElishaCeleste]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing! I remember when I first started to feel again, that even PAINFUL feelings were such a relief to fully embody and embrace. And then, they move through us and we don't have to carry them anymore.

Elisha!!! You're back!! How weird is this: I discovered your YT channel two and a half years ago. Then you left to explore other avenues and I subscribed to your wonderful emails, but then inexplicably I stopped getting them a year ago, and now here I am -- YT algo put you in my feed. It's like coming full circle... Well, welcome back! If it wasn't for your emails I would have never discovered "The Fourth Phase Of Water" by Gerald Pollack. *SO* fascinating... Subscribed (Again) 😊 ❤

[@ElishaCeleste]

Hi! I never stopped emailing - maybe they went to spam/promotions when I switched to Substack last year? This video is a clip from my new podcast, if you liked the 4th Phase of Water I think you'll like what I have in store for the podcast. Gerald Pollack is someone I hope to get on as a guest! And yes, I am back. I'll be posting more videos to this channel as soon as I'm able to hire a video editor. Hopefully very soon.

In the acknowledging of the pain, comes a real ease...

[@MegaPaulSullivan]

"Needed a similar amount of pain outside to match the pain inside, to see it" as a trauma therapist it seems that the psyche when ready to heal, creates shocks on the outside commensurate with shocks of the past. Not the same situ but with the same shock signature vibration imprint. Traume comes out the same way it goes in. My experiencing a shock. A shock can reset you to the place and time and literally timewarp press original trauma space time age you were at the time of the original shock trauma

1:50 currently wearing a "suit of nails". Feels like my skin is the housing for nails pushing into me.

[@ElishaCeleste]

I get it. Maybe not exactly what you're going through, but I definitely had my version. I wonder what the pain is trying to communicate to you?

[@seashellz321]

@@ElishaCeleste I pondered that as I listened to your videos back to back. I embraced the Truth Challenge, and had some breakthroughs AND releases. Similar to you, trauma and shame.

TMS therapy really helps too❤

[@captainbalding2288]

Hi Elisha so glad your back. One area I’m confused. If I had a rib injury and the subconscious is still keeping that fascia tight, does releasing that fascia require to work that area, or could a stronger area like the quads that plays more to the nervous system also release that? I find sometimes after I do my quads the area around my rib injury releases does that make sense ?

[@ElishaCeleste]

Hey there - only your body knows what it needs. There are no protocols that will apply to everyone equally and produce the same result. That's because we all have different injury histories and habits, different anatomy and bone structure, different traumas and stressors etc. If you'd like my support to resolve specific issues, I do offer Zoom consultations.

I have functional neurological disorder. I received therapy but I did not get 100% not even close. I been having trouble feeling my body and I have lack of proprioception… I saw your videos and many other videos on fascia and Fnd trying to re wire my brain along with my fascia . Just wanted to se if you can check a short I made and see if by manipulating my fascia am I fixing the compresión to my back. I try holding oxygen where my body is telling I have an adhesion and use my awareness to perceive gravity, and if gravity is not enough to pull my fascia I manipulate it myself
