I came across something that sounded like a revelation to me-
The “good girl” archetype correlates with autoimmunity
*
When girls learn early in life to put others’ needs before their own
When a list of acceptable behaviors from childhood they’ve been shown
When the identity they embody is tied to something external
It seems to manifest later in life as a disturbance internal
*
Many women grow up unwilling or unable
To disappoint others, it seems more favorable
To disappoint themselves, so they bury their needs
The price is paid later in the form of an autoimmune condition, indeed
*
The author of this theory concluded that an autoimmune condition
Appears to arise from a lack of self-permission
Therefore by reclaiming that permission a woman can stem the tide
Of attack on her own cells, bring her immune system back on her side
By living life with authenticity, freedom and self-permission
She can achieve lasting remission
*
If you have an autoimmune condition, you should let go
Of the “good girl” syndrome, the results would eventually show
Passion...unbridled
