192. Why Your Body Won’t Heal After a Toxic Relationship

You've tried the probiotics. The massage appointments. The elimination diet. The therapy. You left the toxic relationship months (or years) ago. So why is your body still a mess?

Here's what nobody tells you: your body remembers what your mind wants to forget. Those chronic symptoms you can't shake? The digestive issues, the tension that won't release, the pain that moves around for no reason? Your body isn't broken. It's trying to tell you something.

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Maura Eliza about the mind-body connection most doctors don't understand — and why healing your nervous system might be the missing piece you've been looking for.

What You’ll Reflect On:

  • Why symptoms can be messengers (not malfunctions) — and what they're actually trying to tell you
  • How unresolved trauma from a toxic relationship can create physical symptoms that won't respond to traditional treatment
  • What German New Medicine reveals about the real root cause of chronic health issues
  • How to start listening to your body differently (instead of fighting it)

After this episode, you'll stop thinking your body is attacking you — and start seeing it as an ally trying to get your attention. And that shift changes everything. Don't forget to Tag us on Instagram if this episode hits different. We see you.
