Shoulders finally dropped a millimeter. i didn't even realize how high they were riding all . Dr. Kim's words keep echoing, something about how the body remembers even when the mind forgets, and i wonder if this…release…is that, some delayed reaction finally catching up. maybe the body is just slow to trust that things are actually okay now. I swear, the tightness in my jaw lessened only after I started foam rolling my feet. It's absurd, but the body is a map of old battles; who knows where the next ache will lead if you're willing to follow it back far enough. The key, I think, is gentleness – coaxing the story out, not demanding it.
