Do you have bruxism?

Do your teeth grind and clench?

This audio is going to explain to you the different emotional causes that might be the root situation of your symptom,

As your body is telling you some emotional roots that it is just transmitting to you the message through the pain and the discomfort and the idea is that you would understand that message through this interpretation and take some actions for you to free yourself in order for your body to understand that you don't need to hear the message through pain and discomfort and that you might be able to take action and release the tension.

Bruxism is the first step to teeth grinding and there is another audio regarding this topic here that you can listen to and there is another audio regarding TMGD,

Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder that you can listen to in order for you to understand your emotions and to release them.

So if you have bruxism it might mean that at this stage of your life you might be fighting against your own emotions and as it is related to the jaw,

To your teeth,

There might be some deep anger that is anchored there,

Suppressed anger that you couldn't express yourself and that is materialized through this symptom.

You might not only have suppressed anger but before anger there was frustration,

There is a feeling of lack of control and it might have developed into not only anger but rage and suppressed outbursts of negative emotion like feeling that you might be out of control so it is expressed through this grinding.

You might feel that you don't want to express yourself through words,

Through being physically hurtful,

Harmful so for this you harm yourself,

You bite your tongue instead of expressing yourself.

There might be some danger after having expressed yourself,

Maybe losing the other person,

Maybe the other person might be rageaholic and express the anger through physical abuse.

You earn and you win something,

An unconscious advantage through having this symptom and not expressing yourself so what do you gain?

Maybe you gain that you have a little bit of feeling of security.

If my husband divorces me I don't have nowhere to go so I am forced to stay put and not to express myself.

There might be some fear of being abandoned if I express myself and tell all the negative things that I think about that person she might leave and I might stay alone and I don't want to stay alone.

You might feel that the other people abuse you and you need to stay and rely on these people.

There are a lot of situations that trigger your physical symptom so the more situations trigger you the more this symptom is increasing like if you have all the time a situation where you don't assert yourself you see something that triggers you then you begin biting your tongue over and over again and the more it is accelerated the more these situations happen the more your symptoms are increasing.

So you might feel bullied,

Dominated and controlled by others,

Mostly by a dominant figure or by the circumstances that you cannot control,

That you cannot foresee.

So life puts you in situations where you might have had to listen to an influential person who had to share their bullying words to you and another person maybe that complained a lot to you and you couldn't escape that.

You couldn't share that you didn't want to receive that kind of behavior.

You couldn't express yourself and mostly whenever you heard that same situation repeat itself your own reaction was to expressing yourself towards yourself,

Maybe having an inner dialogue,

A negative inner dialogue,

A low self-esteem began building up,

Feeling of powerlessness and the physical symptom increased.

So maybe taking the power over your life would be a first step,

Allowing yourself to release this tension,

Allowing yourself to express your needs,

Your boundaries to the people around you,

Having your power back of being the person that you are,

Asserting yourself and mostly taking life as your friend instead of your enemy,

Going with the flow of life.

This is the end of this audio.

Please share in the comment section about your experience with it.

Did it resonate with you?

Are there some action plans that you would like to put in place because your body doesn't just speak with you just like it is.

It might be a little bit fed up and wants you to take action on changing the course of things in order for it to release the symptoms,

If not it might be aggravated.

So please share in the comment section about your experience and I see you in another audio.
