    The Role of Trauma in Illness

    In this episode of 'Masks Off for People Pleasers and Perfectionists,' host Kim Gross talks with Cindy Costley, a trauma survivor and an EBDT practitioner, who shares her personal journey of dealing with chronic illness. Cindy discusses her experiences with severe allergic reactions and how her physical symptoms were linked to unresolved trauma from her past. She explains the importance of listening to one's body and the process of desensitization for healing. The conversation underscores the connection between emotional health and physical well-being, encouraging listeners to honor their bodies and address underlying emotional causes of chronic symptoms. About Cindy:  My name is Cindy Costley, and I am a Trauma Survivor and Mast Cell Thriver, an Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Therapy (EBDT) Practitioner, and a Medical Intuitive.  For 34 years, I struggled with severe mast cell issues, often described as “the girl allergic to the world.” At the age of 48, I became extremely ill, embarking on an incredible healing journey that led to my full recovery and a completely new life, all because I learned that my "allergic reactions" were my body's way of keeping me safe after suffering from severe sexual trauma as a child. Learning to listen to my body, and the messages it has been trying to get me to listen to for years has been the biggest blessing. I am now asymptomatic and I help others heal through my EBDT (Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Technique). The key to healing is recoding the way our bodies respond to triggers and releasing trapped emotions that are causing mental and physical dysregulation in the body.  Connect with Cindy:  cindy@theunderlyinganswers.com / 805-946-2866 / www.theunderlyinganswers.com /  https://www.instagram.com/theunderlyinganswers/ / https://www.facebook.com/groups/theunderlyinganswers /   Connect with Kim: New Book: https://www.kimgrosscoaching.com/free-to-be.php TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kimgrosscoaching Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimgrosscoaching/ website: www.kimgrosscoaching.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kim.gross.104 Facebook Masks Off Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/masksoffcommunity YouTube:YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCaWJfO7ZFd4aYBX3e-clj9Q Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/2Et9BMqdFriIQ9bUxcfQeg Apple podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/masks-off/id1513846583 Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/notifications/?filter=all Unmasked Newsletter: http://subscribepage.io/masksoffnewsletter People-pleasing quiz: https://www.kimgrosscoaching.com/quiz.php
