#48 Haemorrhoids: What the Body Reveals ...

Tracey Stevens
About this episode

In this episode of The Healing Point Podcast, Tracey sits down with a guest navigating the painful and confusing journey of haemorrhoids and their deeper emotional roots. What begins as a conversation about food, digestion, and physical discomfort unfolds into a powerful exploration of childhood programming, control, shame, and the longing for freedom.

Together, they uncover how early family dynamics around food, love, and body image continue to shape adult patterns of nourishment, restriction, and self-judgment. Themes of hyper-vigilance, fear of chaos, and the struggle to let go weave through the discussion, revealing how physical symptoms mirror emotional stagnation.

This dialogue shines a light on the ways our bodies hold unspoken stories and invites reflection on what it means to move from control into authentic freedom.

Please note: the sound quality in this episode isn’t as clear as usual, but the conversation is powerful and worth listening through.
