KC: Even though I’m willing to learn the language of my body---I admit I’m afraid what it might tell me
KC: Even though I love my body and want to learn to listen---I’m afraid it will tell me to make changes I don’t want to make
KC: Even though I’m afraid to hear what my body wants---I acknowledge my feelings and am committed to this journey
EB: I’m afraid
SE: I’ve been pushed around by everyone
UE: Now my body will push me around
UN: I want to do what I WANT TO DI
CH: What if it tells me something I don’t want to hear
CB: I don’t care-----I’m all alone
UA: No one cares about me
TH: Oh, if I don’t care about my body
EB: No one else will
SE: That’s what doctors are for
UE: They don’t really care
UN: They just give you drugs
CH: They basically tell you to take care of yourself
CB: I don’t want to
UA: I might have to change the way I live
TH: That’s scary
EB: It’s not fair
SE: I’m sorry body
UE: I guess I’m having a tantrum much like you’re doing now
UN: You’re hurting because I haven’t been listening to you
CH: Please, be patient with me
CB: We can take this slow
UA: I can take small steps to change if you need me to
TH: I choose to hear what you have to say
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh
CB: It’s safe now----I’m calmer now----I promise not to go anywhere---it’s safe to let me know what you need now
When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I am committed to ONE whole and healthy body and I’m ready to listen”
