    Common to all my stressors, past and present, is this theme of feeling silenced - like I have to keep everything in... So... TMS. This compulsive silence has bred resentment and frustration and powerlessness. But now that I am looking at the big picture, I am just sad for myself. I am sad that I felt I needed to keep quiet about everything. I am sad for me as a little girl, terrified to speak up and I am sad for me, a strong and fierce woman who was also afraid to speak up for herself (not others.)

    The great thing is, not only is my sciatica subsiding, I am finally finding my voice.

    It's great to know you are finally finding your voice in not holding in everything
    and that your sciatica is subsiding. Your subconscious has gotten the message.
    It must be a great relief to your MindBody.

    Shakespeare said it years ago: "To thine own self be true."
