21. The Critical Link Between Stuck Emotions and Physical Pain with Dr. Trish Muehsam MD

Maybe you've heard the saying: what we resist, persists. Many holistic health experts believe that, when we avoid or reject emotions, the energy of those emotions get stuck in the body and become contributing factors to long-term pain and even disease.   In today's episode, I connect with Dr. Patricia (Trish) Muehsam, a pioneer in the synthesis of science, holistic health and contemporary spirituality. We discuss her new book, Beyond Medicine: A Physician's Revolutionary Prescription for Achieving Absolute Health and Finding Inner Peace. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the mind-body connection to better understand the link between emotions and our physical bodies, and how thoughts and feelings can create either a state of ease or distress. We also learn how to cultivate a sense of peace and surrender to aid in our journey towards more absolute health.   Here's what to look forward to in today's episode:   -How Western medicine is limiting us in how we heal   -Dr. Muehsam's explanation of Absolute Health   -The link between our emotions and our physical bodies   -How suppressing our emotions can impact our bodies   -How some habits perceived as healthy can actually negatively impact our bodies   -Why we are not serving ourselves when it comes to food and multitasking   -The "guest house" metaphor to describe the notion of healing from the inside out   -Ways to use mirror work and mind-body sensing tools to help with anger Connect with Dr. Muehsam:  IG: @drtrishmuehsam   Website   Get your copy of Beyond Medicine   Facebook Page   Twitter: @drtrishmd   Guest house poem    Connect with Whitney  IG: @Whitneywoman
