“So when these things were coming up, it's more so, although you know your nervous system is out of whack because of everything that happened to you, like your intuition is still intact and that if those things are coming up for you, if you're having these physical manifestations, there's deeper meaning to it and it's something where you can, you need to pay more attention to it.”
