Show Notes
In this episode, I explore decompensation—what happens when the body and emotional system can no longer keep compensating and finally start to unravel. Drawing on stories from my osteopathy days and my Release course, I show how physical symptoms and emotional states are often deeply linked, and why going “too hard, too fast” with treatment or emotional work can sometimes make things worse before it gets better.
In this episode, we cover:
What decompensation is on a physical and emotional level How the body stores and compensates for unprocessed emotions Why symptoms often appear only when your “emotional cup” is full How physical issues (like back or hip stiffness) can hide deeper root causes A case where mid–lower back tightness revealed a hip and nerve issue A case where hip dysfunction was compensating for old, unresolved anxiety Why emotional work needs to be paced to your capacity, not rushed The importance of support when you start working at the emotional root level
