Women are conditioned to be pleasers.
And it's making us sick.
Why We Need To Wake Up:
And it's making us sick.
Why We Need To Wake Up:
"Mystery illness" and autoimmune conditions are extremely common in women. 80% of people diagnosed with autoimmune conditions are women.
Many of these women are gaslit and told their symptoms aren't real. That they're all in their head. There is little awareness in our medical field about emotional repression, emotional abuse, and how it impacts the body.
There is little awareness that a woman who's been conditioned to please everyone while she betrays herself will have a body that will one day scream: NO. A body that will show the signs of the secrets and betrayal she's lived through.
Because complex trauma isn't recognized, it's just labeled as anxiety, or ADHD or anything to quickly medicate so that woman can get back to what she's always done: going and going and sacrificing and sacrificing. Society back to normal...
God forbid she take time off. Or advocate for what she feels to be true in her body: something is wrong. Then she'll be labeled af selfish or difficult. Bringing up the old wounds from childhood. But, she'll never be asked about her childhood experiences.
We have more medical advancement than ever, and people are sicker than ever. A big part of this is because we haven't addressed how we condition women to be self-sacrificing machines. And how we ignore emotions in the role of disease.
We need to empower women to understand their bodies. To start setting boundaries. To know that toxic work environments, relationships, and expectations can make us physically sick.
We need to stop teaching young girls their main role in life is to please, appease, and to be nice. This is how we create a healthy society. We need to stop glorifying the do it all persona and start honoring limits.
We need to start putting things together: "good girls" pay a high price: their health. Neglected woman get physically sick. Woman who are forced to keep secrets, who aren't believed, and who are shamed, get physically sick.
Retweet if this feels true in your body.
