The body keeps the score: How does grief impact our body?

The body does in fact, keep the score!This week, I'm talking all about how grief might impact our bodies. A few months ago, I asked The Grief Gang community how they know grief has affected their physical wellbeing. Let me tell you, they came with RECEIPTS.In this episode, I share how grief has affected me and my body over the years. What I noticed in those very early stages of loss, and the things that have had a longer impact. Later in the episode, I share some facts I found on t'internet that gave me a little insight as to why this may happen. Check me out with my GP hat on (Full disclaimer..I am absolutely NOT a GP nor should you take any medical advice from me lol)I hope this episode is really insightful and shows that you're not alone. Those weird aches and pains that came out of nowhere in your 20's maybe aren't you just becoming a dodgery old dear, maybe it's your grief?! There is actual science behind this shit. We're not mad!!!!If I haven't already mentioned it in this ep, do let me know how grief impacts your body by sliding into my DM's!Big love & happy listening,Amber xxxFollow and be part of The Grief Gang community:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegriefgangpodcast/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/thegriefgang?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGriefGangYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCpe5pGmjvqPFteN4L7T_ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thegriefgangWebsite: https://www.thegriefgang.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thegriefgang.
