[quote=Anonymous][quote=Calisto]Many survivors of physical or sexual abuse struggle with this.  I am not a researcher, just a therapist that treats trauma survivors.   I would estimate that most women in particular who are +50 pounds overweight have an untreated trauma.  For many, attempting to exercise can trigger some physical "sense memories" from the original event and effectively pull off the scab.   I also agree that yoga can definitely trigger this as well- directing that much awareness to the body in the present moment can be overwhelming for many.

I am not at all suggesting that this is what OP is experiencing, but I am offering that this is my clinical anecdotal experience, FWIW.

I'm sorry, but this is just nutty and it makes me nervous that you are a therapist.  "Most women who are 50+ pounds overweight are trauma victims"??????  How about are mothers, because if you've had a couple of pregnancies your chances of being over weight are much higher.  How about the fact that obesity in our country has gone up for both men and women?  How about the fact that you have absolutely no basis for irresponsibly throwing out that idea.  (And if someone finds a link saying most trauma victims are overweight that is not the same thin as most overweight people are trauma victims.)

And don't get me starts on "sense memories."  OP didn't even say she was overweight.

OP, you need to get some bloodwork.  You could be anemic, which would mean your body has to work harder to get the proper oxygen when you exert yourself.  You could be experiencing another health problem as well.  It could be something your body tolerates at rest but when you increase the demands on the body, it becomes manifest.  So you are right to start with your doctor.[/quote]
