E10 S2 | Mind Body Coach Rebecca Tolin Shares How Somatics, Creativity and Curiosity Processed Her Emotional Trauma and Led Her from Health Crash to Cure

On this episode I speak with Rebecca Tolin, Mind Body Coach and creator of the Be Your Own Medicine Program

“...I found myself in this impersonal medical system that was only addressing the physical symptoms with things like supplements and medications. And what I really needed was to process that emotional trauma and know that that was the underlying cause of my symptoms so I could address it at the root.” - Rebecca Tolin

 Highlights:

• Rebecca’s traumatic experience while working abroad as a journalist, and her 13 year attempt to cure her Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other health conditions through allopathic medicine
• Dr. John Sarno, mind body healing, and somatics led to Rebecca’s eventual remission of her symptoms and health conditions 
• The importance of self-compassion and unconditional love of self when managing a health condition
• How Mind-Body Coaching helps people find safety in their mind and body
• Learning to be with sensations in the body through mindful awareness and somatic tracking 
• Paying attention to our belief systems & finding compassionate truth in our experience of illness and health
• Often people hold something inside of themselves that wants to be honored or heard, and without its recognition it can manifest in a physical way
• Learning to tune in and honor the deeper wisdom in the body, mind, heart, and soul
• The concept of outcome independence and participating in practices with curiosity instead of revving the nervous system for a specific outcome 

“...These sensations in my body that I had called labels and names and diagnosis were looking for my attention, and when I gave them loving, even neutral attention, the underlying emotion could surface and almost always there was some sense of relief after that...I could feel it was medicine to me.”
