You don't trust your body after it let you down
Something went wrong in your body — an illness, a collapse, a diagnosis, a scare — and since then you don't trust it the way you used to. Every sensation is suspect, every symptom a possible betrayal. The easy at-home feeling in your own body is gone, replaced by a wariness, a bracing, a sense that it could turn on you again.
When your body has genuinely let you down — failed, frightened you, turned out to be vulnerable in a way you hadn't felt — a particular kind of trust breaks, and it doesn't come back on command. Of course you're wary now; your body proved it could scare you, and part of you is braced for the next time. This is tender work, and slow: not forcing a trust you don't feel, but gently rebuilding a livable relationship with a body you've learned is fragile — like any relationship after a betrayal, made of small moments of safety, over time. You don't have to feel invincible again. You're looking for a way to live in your body without constant dread.
