Читать книгу Trust Your Gut - Gregory Plotnikoff - Страница 44

Cindy lived with her boyfriend, Jim. She felt very strongly about him. She liked the closeness they shared, but she was also afraid of conflict, so she never mentioned when she was angry with him. Then Jim got into a habit of making plans to go out with other friends in the evening without letting Cindy know in advance. This bothered her, but she didn't say anything to him. In recent weeks, though, she'd been experiencing a gnawing pain in her lower abdomen every time Jim made plans without telling her.

This could be considered a secret kept from the mind but not from the body. Ultimately, through her participation in the CORE program, Cindy learned that the more she expressed her anger and other uncomfortable emotions as they emerged, the gnawing pains in her abdomen diminished. Clearly, her gut was encouraging Cindy to speak up and be less quiet.
