Welcome back to 'Beyond Symptoms,' today, we’re going to be challenging a common mindset and exploring  'What Causes Symptoms?' Too often, we pathologise and externalise our symptoms, viewing them as something happening to us—an inconvenience or an enemy to be eliminated as quickly as possible.

In this episode, we’re turning the conventional approach on its head. We’ll explore how symptoms can be seen as helpful feedback from a body that’s trying to communicate with us. By understanding the underlying emotional and physical factors that trigger symptoms, we can start to see them not as problems to be suppressed, but as valuable insights into what our body truly needs. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by persistent symptoms or wondered why they keep coming back, this episode will help you reframe your perspective and discover how to work with your body’s wisdom rather than against it. Let’s dive in and explore the real causes of symptoms and how we can work towards true healing from the inside out.   http://energyflowcoaching.com http://themindbodyreconnect.com
