Reconnecting to my gut instincts was one of the most important things I had to work at in my earliest recovery. I mean -
critically important. In my case, I'd spent so many years telling my gut it was wrong that it just started to reflect those directives instead of showing me my Truths. The gut-brain is a real, known scientific thing - not just some woowoo stuff we tell ourselves to explain the butterflies we sometimes feel.
