A reframe on autoimmunity - Your body isn't self attacking, but communicating

Autoimmune conditions are not simply a case of the body 'attacking itself.'

Increasing evidence points to a combination of chronic immune activation in response to

• Environmental triggers like infections, toxins, and molecular mimicry

• Alongside unresolved psycho-emotional stress

This post explores the potential mind-body connections behind specific autoimmune presentations — including thyroid, skin, joint, and connective tissue involvement — and how chronic stress, trauma, and belief systems may influence both immune dysregulation and tissue vulnerability.

Sustainable recovery often requires addressing both the physiological root causes and the emotional or energetic patterns that keep the body in a heightened immune state.
