Body Memories March 20 2016

I have returned to my crossfit tribe!  YAY!  Due to an added layer of counseling, I've been better able to understand the debilitating physical pain I experience.  On a trauma scale of 0-10, my baseline is a 3.  Physical exertion and stress triggers my body into thinking it is in danger and will begin to shut down if I don't short circuit the response.  The body prepares to die (which is exactly what it can feel like).  I am able to workout the first 15 minutes and cannot go higher than a 4 on the scale.  If I hit 4, then I take a moment to calm my heart rate.  In the latest "workout", I actually felt like a 2 for a moment.  I'm back, baby!
