How did you get more attuned to your body? I realized during PT yesterday that my disconnection from my body and myself might be why my back pain has been lingering for months and months. What helped you, besides

I think the trick was regular maintenance. I was visiting the chiropractor weekly and then biweekly for a while, and I still go monthly for a tune-up.
Monthly massages with an excellent massage therapist who accepted and worked with the emotional and spiritual pieces that I brought into the massage room. For a while I purposely scheduled therapy sessions close to my massages so that I could process what I'd stored up in my body. I went to yoga for a while too around that time, and the stretching and movement forced me to feel where I was physically stuck, which in hindsight correlated quite closely with where I was emotionally stuck.
