Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: Your emotions are making you sick

So I literally just woke up.

I'm on like the verge of a migraine

because I only slept like four hours last night and I went out with my friends.

So I have a little bit of a headache.

So that's why I'm like lying in bed, just kind of like sleeping it off.

But I wanted to talk about something that I talked about with my therapist the other day.

It's kind of a hot take

that I feel like could help a lot of people out there who are struggling with like chronic illness

or any kind of sickness or any kind of like physical ailments.

So he very lightly said, hey, so I'm going to tell you this, but take this with a grain of salt.

Do you think you would have a chronic illness

if we healed all of your trauma and

or fixed all of your issues that you have around boundary setting and people pleasing?

And I said, no, I think that 99% of my issues

that I face with physical ailments would be completely solved if I knew how to stand up for myself.

And it opened up a very enlightening conversation because obviously take everything I'm about to say with a grain of salt, but every single person that I've talked to that has developed cancer, an autoimmune disorder, a chronic illness,

anything of this nature, they have said

that going to therapy was one of the best things they ever did for their physical symptoms.

Because obviously things, especially when you're looking at like Chinese medicine, Eastern medicine, they value how much emotions affect the physical body.

And here in Western medicine, we don't put as much emphasis on it, we more focus on the symptoms versus the emotional things that could be influencing the body.

Because I was also talking about this with a friend, and he believes both sides of it, that there are genetic and environmental factors.

And I do agree with that, that there are genetic and environmental factors in why we develop certain things.

But also that our emotions are exaggerating our symptoms and are causing certain issues in the body as well.

And I fully believe this because the times that I've gone through extreme traumas afterwards, that is when my symptoms got 10 times worse.

Like I developed POTS after I went through severe trauma

and I developed my Ehlers-Danlos symptoms got 10 times worse while I was healing from really, really bad trauma.

And most of my chronic illness stuff started when I was a kid after I went through, let's hear it folks, extreme trauma.

And so a lot of people

that I've heard from also who have been through abusive relationships like narcissistic relationships their negative emotions

and their psychological trauma and abuse will quite literally trigger different things in the body

because the way that a lot of um chronic illnesses autoimmune disorders work is

that the trigger for it lies dormant in the body

and then it will get triggered by something sometimes people carry the genes for it

but it never gets the genes never get turned on so sometimes people will carry the gene for something, but it will never get triggered.

Like for example, I think my grandma has the gene for Alzheimer's, but she's 80 years old, never had any dementia in her life because she took very good care of herself.

She went to therapy.

She took care of her emotions.

She's very emotionally in tune, very spiritually in tuned, and she's taking care of herself over the years.

So it never got triggered.

But a lot of people will have emotions trigger bad things in the body because of rising cortisol levels,

other physiological factors, and it will cause these genes to quite literally turn on, which is also why some people will be completely fine their whole life

and then all of a sudden they're like yeah in my

20s 30s I just developed an autoimmune disorder casually on a Tuesday right

so I was talking to my friend let me get back to this conversation

because I'm all over the place I was talking with my friend about it

and we were talking about how there's obviously um environmental factors genetic factors physiological factors um risk factors

that play into why people develop this disease.

I'm not saying that it's purely emotional.

Do not take that as what I'm saying.

Do not twist my words.

There are factors that contribute it that people who haven't gone through trauma

or anything can develop crazy diseases just because of the way their body functions and the way they were born.

But a lot of people who develop chronic or autoimmune disorders is emotionally driven because he used to be a chemist.

So he was like in the body, if you isolate it and take away emotion entirely from the body, a body functions very, very well.

It transports the proteins, it digests the food, it transports the energy, it makes all of these different things in the body, you know, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell,

all the good science stuff that you learn.

That functions on a very regular basis and that's very baseline.

But the second you throw stress in the mix, the second you throw anxiety in the mix, the second you throw in hormones or hormonal fluctuations,

which also gets affected, all of your hormones get affected by stress.

All stress affects hormones and hormones affect the body differently.

So the second you throw in emotion into the mix, that's when shit gets shaken up.

So back to this, I got to sit up for this.

Okay.

Back to the conversation about my therapist.

He was saying, I've been wanting to say this for a while, but I also don't want to like have this come off as harsh.

But he's like, I think that like when you were a ballerina, you were under all of this stress.

And the second that your body just couldn't take it anymore, it developed a chronic illness because you didn't know how to set boundaries within ballet and with the people around you.

And you were forced to push yourself beyond your emotional and physical needs for years till your body was like, I'm going to develop this chronic illness because honestly,

this is the only way this bitch is going to take care of me.

Hi, editing Bailey here.

That's my wooden duck.

I love my wooden duck.

To add on to the point the video Bailey was saying, when you don't do things that is helpful to the body,

your body almost perceives your personality as a problem.

Because if let's say you had a child and you're not taking care of that child and you are neglecting that child, that child will learn that you are not a safe person.

And we need to get away from this person.

We need to rebel against this person.

We need to get away because this person is not taking care of us.

Same way with the body.

When the body recognizes that you are not standing up for it, you are not taking care of it, you are not doing what is necessary to make it healthy, it will start rebelling against you.

And it's happened to me time and time again where

when i push myself beyond my means i disrespect my boundaries

i don't stand up to people i keep myself in negative

situations i keep myself in abusive in abusive situations my body

will start rebelling my body will start rebelling i will develop rapidly strange symptoms with no correlation to anything

that immediately end when i resolve

that stress my hair will start falling off my teeth will

start rotting away despite brushing them every day i will feel really, really shit.

I won't sleep.

I'll get insomnia, night terrors, sleep paralysis.

And then the second I'm out of that situation, all of it goes away.

Funny to think about, right?

And it was true.

Like that's literally the story that my body tells itself is like, I have to make this girl sick in order for her to take care of me

because she's not taking care of me.

And it's very true because the only time I will ever take care of myself is when my body gets sick.

That's the only time I'll slow down, the only time that I'll take a rest.

And so I've been trying to take more and more rest recently.

Like I've completely rejected the Goggins mindset.

100

I've completely rejected stoicism.

101

And I'm purely focused on like taking care of myself and making sure that I am okay.

102

And I gotta tell you, I have felt the best I've felt in years.

103

I am like my back pain is going away.

104

My headaches are going away.

105

Everything is subsiding.

106

I still have like, I don't know if you can see this, but I still have like hypermobility.

107

I'm still insanely flexible.

108

I still have digestive issues.

109

I still have other issues that are like embarrassing to talk about, but I have all of the other things that come with chronic illness

110

that are just like in my genetics that I can't change.

111

But a lot of my symptoms have been completely manageable by managing my stress and my emotional well-being.

112

So this applies to everyone, not just those with chronic illness.

113

Stress is the number one killer.

114

We can notice this from the blue zones.

115

if you look at the blue zones around the earth and

116

if you don't know what a blue zone is it's basically

117

these pockets of populations throughout the earth um there's a pocket

118

in i believe it's sicily italy let me actually look this up

119

so i'm not swaying you the wrong way there are five

120

zones throughout the globe with the highest concentration of people living 100

121

or older it is in okonoa japan sardinia italy um i

122

believe it's nicoya peninsula in costa rica greece loma linda california

123

These are the five zones throughout the earth where everyone lives over 100 years old.

124

Like it's just, that's the casual that they just live over 100 years old.

125

And what you'll notice with a lot of these populations, obviously they have very healthy diets.

126

They sway more towards vegetarian diets and or if they do eat meat, it's sparse and they mostly eat fish and they eat very healthy, a lot of vegetables.

127

But then also another thing that happens is they move

128

and exercise with purpose they don't do it to like punish themselves they have very good gym routines

129

but the main thing is

130

that they have very very low stress they maintain their low

131

stress lifestyles through what they do through what they choose to

132

do every single day they nurture their emotional health they take care of themselves

133

and their community and they just live very low stress lifestyles

134

because stress is the number one killer it will cause your body to have panic attacks anxiety attacks,

135

heart attacks, strokes, when people get in very high stress situations or high stress jobs, they will literally die because of that job because of the stress that's being put on their body.

136

But also our emotions and our traumas, even if let's say you're not in the trauma anymore, that trauma lives on in your body.

137

Like the body does fucking keep score.

138

So that will live on in your body and cause you to develop negative, negative mindsets, negative patterns of thinking.

139

It will cause you to continue the stress

140

that you used to live in as a perpetuation because you believe

141

that the trauma and the stress and the chaos

142

that you used to live in is normalized so you continue it

143

and my therapist was talking about this and he's like

144

when you were in all that stress

145

and chaos you didn't know how to set boundaries you didn't know you people pleased like crazy

146

and you just did what everyone told you to do without actually taking into account is this good for me

147

and the thing is is that I perpetuate that cycle with my lifestyle.

148

I will stress myself out like crazy, I'll exercise myself into the ground, I'll push myself beyond my means, I will not eat healthy, I will not sleep enough,

149

but then also I'll allow myself to get walked all over emotionally, I won't respect my own boundaries, I won't take care of myself emotionally.

150

And that is a huge contribution to why I feel so shitty all the time.

151

Because obviously I am sick, but there's also people who have the same condition as me, Ehlers-Danlos and Potts, who are literally Olympic athletes.

152

So why is it that I'm bed bound, but those people can be Olympic athletes?

153

And obviously chronic illness is a sliding scale, so you have to meet yourself where you are.

154

But there's so much that's going on in my emotional body that is weighing down my physical body.

155

And that's what I think we can learn from one, Eastern medicine, but two, just blue zones and also psychology,

156

is that your emotions carry so much power over your physical body

157

and you need to get that in fucking check

158

and someone said on TikTok it was the best phrase I've

159

ever heard they're like you need to be a bitch

160

so you don't develop an autoimmune disorder because a lot of times

161

when you stand up for yourself when you say I'm not going to do this

162

or I'm going to take time for myself

163

or I'm going to almost be selfish with my time

164

because I know it's better for my emotions obviously like take

165

care of yourself take care of the people around you be empathetic be kind

166

but it comes to a point where it's like

167

if I don't want to do this or

168

if this is going to harm me

169

or this is not good for me I need to put

170

my foot down people will call you a bitch for

171

that people will call you a bitch

172

if you say no a lot of people will so

173

when they say be a bitch

174

so you don't develop an autoimmune disorder it means stand up for yourself

175

so your body doesn't get triggered so badly that it turns on the genes for chronic illness and autoimmune disorders.

176

I just thought this was a massive food for thought

177

and a massive like thought experiment that we could all think about

178

because think about the times you've gone through trauma

179

and how your body functioned before during and after that trauma

180

and most of you will say I developed some kind of illness after

181

that trauma or I developed a negative pattern of thinking after

182

that trauma or I had PTSD or I had CPTSD

183

or I developed chronic illness or now I have nagging headaches

184

that I can't seem to get rid of or whatever it might be

185

or have this nagging back pain that won't go away

186

because one those traumas live on the in the body

187

but two you need to let that shit go

188

and you need to learn to stand up for yourself

189

or else your body will suffer as a result anyway that's my hot take for the day

190

we're doing good wherever we are in the world I love you good morning good night good afternoon all the good stuff.

191

Love you guys.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
