Trusting Your Body’s Wisdom Begins with Being Held
What if there were a space that shows you how to trust your body and honors your sensitivity as well?
The following lines may give you hope that even with long-term body issues, the kinds that keep returning no matter how well you follow instructions, the ones that quietly frustrate your daily life, something can be done. These conditions can be completely reversed or significantly eased. And you don’t need to be a trained expert or have knowledge of every helping profession. Your unique sensitivity can guide your healing. It doesn’t cause the problem, and it certainly shouldn’t be dismissed.
Goodbye to sentences like: It’s all in your head. You’re too sensitive. It’s not that big a deal.
I used to live a life full of pain, fear, and unhealthy choices, even while constantly focusing on healing myself. Chronic back pain, an incurable skin disease called ichthyosis, and fertility issues were part of my identity for most of my life. I was such a disciplined, good girl: exercising daily, implementing every small habit, and compliantly following all the instructions I was given.
But those instructions came from standardized approaches that missed the full picture.
These specialists weren’t trained in holistic healing. They had no idea they were working with a highly sensitive system, one that required an entirely different approach.
I walked this road for many years and took many detours before I was finally free from pain and from conditions that were never supposed to be reversible, including an impending surgery that I no longer needed.
By sharing my path, I offer you the chance to reach relief and a better quality of life but faster, or more gently, than I did.
I also want to give you hope that something can always be done, even when it feels hopeless. No, you don’t have to accept any state that doesn’t feel right to you. And yes, you can also choose to make peace with something and redirect your energy elsewhere.
And it can all start by being understood in your sensitivity, by being held in your authentic and true feelings, whether physical or emotional.
For me, the shift came through a specific healing method. But what helped me went far beyond technique.
Being Held, Not Fixed
Craniosacral biodynamics is a holistic approach that supports the body’s natural healing processes through gentle, non-invasive touch. It focuses on the body’s self-healing abilities and subtle biodynamic rhythms. It works with the whole person, not just isolated symptoms, and aims to restore overall harmony and health.
When I arrived for my first session, I was expecting a massage.
Instead, they asked me about everything.
And, surprisingly, they were genuinely interested in how I felt, what was troubling me, and what I was going through mentally.
The therapist was excellent. We shaped the therapy around my needs. Finally, doors began to open into a world of connected insights and solutions.
For the first time, I experienced a therapy that felt natural, one that included two-way conversation. With craniosacral biodynamics, you truly rest. In this therapy, it’s important to do nothing (what a relief). You let your body and mind relax. You trust the therapist and the process.
For some symptoms, it worked immediately. For others, it opened the door and began the healing process.
This experience marked the beginning of more alternative forms of healing in my life, and their significance is unquestionable.
Why It Worked (but Not for Obvious Reasons)
This wasn’t about the method itself.
It was about what it allowed - the permission to stop fixing, performing, and pushing.
It met my body and mind exactly where they were and got curious about them. My nervous system encountered something it had been craving for years: safety. And because I felt safe, my body could finally begin to heal, just as it is naturally designed to.
This therapy treated my body as intelligent, not broken.
That shift changed the course of everything that followed.
It was only the beginning.
Looking back, I now understand how powerful it was to be fully listened to. I can also see various aspects of my personal experience with this method and with that therapist that I wouldn’t consider ideal today. I didn’t yet know I was a highly sensitive person. I had no idea that my whole lifestyle wanted to be attuned to my body’s needs.
But this was the first space where all of me was welcomed.
It showed me something I hadn’t seen before:
Relief is possible.
Healing can begin without pressure.
Softness can be a strategy.
And, most importantly, trusting my own body is the way forward.
Why This Matters for You
Maybe you’ve lived with long-term body discomforts too, the kind that don’t respond to logic. Maybe you’ve seen expert after expert, tried protocol after protocol. And maybe it’s quietly costing you more than you realize.
Every month you stay in systems that weren’t built for your sensitivity, your body absorbs the weight. You lose trust in your instincts. You begin to believe that discomfort is just your baseline.
But it’s not.
You’re not meant to live in a body that feels like a problem to manage.
When no one addresses the emotional or energetic weight behind the symptoms, we stay stuck. We try harder, blame ourselves, shut down. And the real message from the body gets lost in the noise.
This can change. But not by adding more effort.
It changes when you step into a different kind of space.
A space that meets your sensitivity with intelligence and respect. That lets your nervous system exhale. That reminds you: your body has always been wise. It just needs the right conditions to speak.
Welcome to Sensitive Enough Movement
You now understand that healing doesn’t always start with what’s visible. That someone truly listening, without rushing to fix you, can be the doorway to change. That even when symptom-centered systems failed to see your whole picture, your body kept speaking.
That’s why I created Sensitive Enough Movement.
It’s a private, paid space within my publication, More Than Enough. A space specifically designed for the sensitive woman, whether you fully identify that way or simply know you’ve always felt more, held more, carried more.
If you’re curious you can find out more details in here.
This isn’t another plan to follow.
Inside Sensitive Enough Movement, I’ll continue this story - the parts I couldn’t fit here. What truly helped me. What didn’t. What my body taught me when I finally listened. And how your highly sensitive system may hold its own hidden map to relief.
You’ll find honest reflections on what it means to live as a highly sensitive woman while healing deeply, physically and emotionally.
This will help you begin to trust your body again. To understand your pain from a new perspective. To release what isn’t yours to carry. And to feel, possibly for the first time, that you’re not alone in your sensitivity.
Because most healing spaces weren’t built for people like us.
And because you shouldn’t have to harden yourself just to get better.
If you feel a quiet yes reading this, that’s enough.
I’ll meet you inside.

I resonate with this so much! Six years ago I looked super healthy on the outside- working out six days a week, eating well, and even running a business helping other women get in a “good routine”. Meanwhile I was dying inside from a series of unexplained autoimmune issues and severe depression. Behind all my motives for being “fit” was a deep-rooted belief that I was a constant self-improvement project- always falling short.
Um… this is not actually healthy! 😂
At the time I felt like I was being forced to take a step back- my body physically couldn’t take it anymore. But it’s been such a blessing to have the opportunity to cultivate my inner world and learn to listen to my body and nurture it instead of “fixing” it.
This was a beautiful read. Thank you for sharing your story. 💗
I really enjoy the way you framed this reflection—and how you threaded the needle on both “at the time” and looking back. Reading this reminds me that I had similar experiences.
It makes me curious if we (as highly sensitives) finally get a space that allows that and then let’s us breathe ourselves back into life (when for so long we’ve been constrained). This assumes we didn’t have that space from the jump.
It’s also made me better at listening to my body when I first meet a practioner or healer. It’s also made me take that extra step to meet then first without the expectation of care. And even if see their response around high sensnitivity, it’s fascinating stuff. Love your writing ✍️
