People sometimes make the mistake of thinking that accepting reality and moving on from the past makes them weak or naive in some way. So they hold onto their pain.
It takes a lot of strength to be the bigger person and say "You know what, the only one this is hurting is me, I'm moving on from that." But it doesn't mean you have to forgive and forget.

Today I'm looking at Conversion Disorder, or as it’s more often called these days, Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder.
It’s one of those things that shows just how powerful the mind-body connection really is. Where the body can suddenly stop working properly but with no clear medical cause. Whether it’s something you’ve experienced yourself, or it’s touched the life of someone you love, this one might help connect a few dots.

Today I’m talking about the five emotional needs we all have in childhood, and how things can get a bit messy in adulthood if those needs weren’t fully met.
We’ll look at how this might show up in your life now, from people-pleasing to emotional detachment or even struggling to let yourself play.

Not only is my house full left over Christmas chocolate but the supermarkets are already pushing Easter eggs onto me and there's only so much willpower we have to resist.
But sometimes it's all a matter of perspective.
