Fibromyalgia: A Trauma-Informed & Metabolically-Aware Path to Healing

Fibromyalgia is more than a diagnosis — it’s a multidimensional signal from your body, mind, and soul.  Often dismissed as “all in your head,” it is, in truth, a bio-energetic crisis rooted in unresolved trauma, metabolic dysregulation, and soul-level contraction. 

You are not broken.
You are responding.

The Emotional Roots & Belief Systems of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia often arises when emotional energy becomes trapped in the muscles and connective tissue.  Common emotions include:

• Suppressed anger, rage, and resentment — especially toward those who controlled or dismissed you

• Grief — for autonomy, for love that wasn’t given, for a childhood that demanded silence

• Fear of letting go — tied to a subconscious belief that pain equals attention, and relief equals abandonment 

These emotions couple with core beliefs such as:

• “I must suffer to be seen.”

• “My needs are a burden.”

• “I can’t trust my body.”

• “I must stay small to be safe.”

These are not flaws — they are survival strategies forged in trauma. 

Trauma: The Silent Architect of Chronic Pain

Complex trauma — especially developmental, relational, or betrayal trauma — rewires the nervous system. The constant state of hypervigilance depletes metabolic resources and floods the body with stress hormones. 

Over time, this creates:

• Central sensitization — where the nervous system amplifies pain signals

• Muscle bracing — a protective freeze response that never releases

• Sleep disruption — preventing the body’s nightly repair cycle 

The body holds what the mind cannot process. Fibromyalgia is often the physical echo of unspoken pain. 

Metabolic Dysregulation: The Ray Peat Perspective

Ray Peat, PhD, emphasized that metabolic rate is foundational to health. Fibromyalgia is frequently linked to:

• Low thyroid function — slowing cellular energy production

• High cortisol and estrogen — promoting inflammation and mitochondrial suppression

• Excess polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) — which impair oxidative metabolism and increase free radicals

• Lactic acid buildup — from inefficient glucose oxidation, contributing to muscle pain and fatigue 

Peat’s work shows that pro-metabolic nutrition — rich in glucose, protein, and thyroid-supportive nutrients — can restore energy and reduce pain.

Key supports:

• Thyroid optimization

• Adequate protein and sugar (e.g., milk, fruit, gelatin)

• Avoiding PUFAs and stress-inducing foods

• Supporting mitochondrial function with aspirin, niacinamide, and sunlight
  

The Esoteric Dimension: Fibromyalgia and the Soul Layers

Barbara Brennan’s model of the human energy field reveals that disease begins energetically. In fibromyalgia:

• Layer 2 (Emotional): Filled with “dark clouds” of unprocessed grief and anger

• Layer 4 (Mental): Dominated by beliefs of unworthiness and fear

• Layer 6 (Spiritual): Disconnection from soul purpose and inner light

Chronic pain can be a soul-level contraction — a protective armor formed when the world felt too harsh to be open. 

Healing involves reclaiming these layers — clearing blockages, restoring flow, and remembering your inherent wholeness. 

Homeopathic Support: Emotional Release & Nervous System Healing

Homeopathy offers gentle yet profound support by addressing the energetic imprints of trauma and metabolic strain. 

Key Remedies for Emotional & Physical Layers:

• Staphysagria: For suppressed anger, humiliation, and boundary violations — especially after relational trauma.

• Hypericum: Nervous system healer — supports nerve regeneration and eases neuralgic pain. 

• Silicea: For deep-seated sensitivity, lack of vitality, and a feeling of being “walled off” — helps release chronic tension. 

• Natrum muriaticum: For grief held in the body, emotional withdrawal, and fluid imbalance — especially after betrayal.

• Ignatia: For acute emotional shock, sorrow, and sighing breaths — when grief feels too heavy to speak. 

• Buddleia: Known as the “grief remedy” — supports the release of profound sorrow, especially when one feels abandoned by spirit.

• Rhus toxicodendron: For restlessness and stiffness that improves with motion — common in fibromyalgia. 

• Kali phosphoricum: For mental and physical exhaustion, anxiety, and nervous fatigue. 

• Gelsemium: For heaviness, trembling, and anticipatory anxiety — often seen in chronic fatigue and pain syndromes. 

• Zincum metallicum: For deep neural exhaustion and obsessive thoughts — especially when pain disrupts sleep. 
  

Tissue Salts (Schüssler Salts) for Metabolic & Nervous Support:

• Kali phos (No. 6): The “nerve nutrient” — essential for brain and nerve cell regeneration, reduces fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia.

• Mag phos (No. 7): Relieves muscle cramps, spasms, and nerve pain — supports nerve conduction and relaxation.

• Natrum muriaticum (No. 10): Regulates fluid balance and emotional resilience — supports the body’s response to stress. 
  

Miasmatic Healing: Ancestral Trauma & Epigenetic Release

In homeopathy, miasms are inherited energetic patterns of disease — often rooted in ancestral trauma passed down through generations.  Fibromyalgia can be a carrier of these unhealed imprints.

• Tuberculinum: For restless, creative souls with a deep sense of exile — often carrying ancestral displacement or suppression.

• Syphilinum: For self-attack, deep shame, and a feeling of being “unworthy of life” — linked to generational patterns of self-destruction.

• Carcinocin: For those with a family history of cancer and suppressed rage — often tied to generational patterns of sacrifice and silence.

• Lac equinum: For inherited states of oppression, chronic fatigue, and depression — especially in descendants of trauma survivors. 

These remedies work on the epigenetic layer, helping to clear inherited survival patterns and restore the soul’s freedom.

A Note on Working with a Homeopath

Homeopathy is deeply individual — what works for one may not for another. Always work with an experienced homeopath who can assess your full picture — emotional, physical, and ancestral.  Share your history, symptoms, and this list of remedies as a starting point for discussion.

Reclaiming Your Body, Mind, and Soul

Fibromyalgia is not a life sentence. It is an invitation — to:

• Nourish your metabolism with pro-energy foods

• Process trapped emotions through somatic and energy work

• Reconnect with your soul’s truth and purpose 

You don’t have to choose between science and spirit.
Healing happens when both are honored.
