Feeling disconnected from your body or identity can be one of the hardest experiences to name, especially when returning to movement with a personal trainer, Pilates teacher, or GP referral instructor. It’s common to feel like you’ve lost a previous version of yourself—one that felt stronger, more energetic, or more confident. Rather than trying to “get back” to who you were, the focus shifts to rebuilding a new, sustainable relationship with movement and your body as it is now.
