You have been performing a version of yourself for a long time.

​And your body has been keeping score.

​Not metaphorically. Literally.

​The tension that won't release. The sleep that never feels restorative. The chronic symptom that keeps returning no matter what you try. Dr Bessel van der Kolk showed us in The Body Keeps the Score that unresolved emotional patterns don't stay in the mind — they are encoded in the nervous system and held in the body. Dr Joe Dispenza takes it further — showing that the personality we present to the world is a habit. A memorised self. And when that habitual identity conflicts with who we are actually trying to become, the body reflects that conflict in ways conventional medicine rarely traces back to the source.

​Your body is not working against you. It is working to maintain the identity it has been given.

​In this two-hour morning we will look at how the masks you wear and the beliefs you carry about who you are supposed to be create a chronic stress response in the nervous system and how BodyTalk and identity work can address both at the same time, at the root.
