There are things we carry with us through life: physical, emotional, metaphorical. \u00a0A teddy bear you\u2019ve had since you were a child, the resentment at a family member who let you down, the fear which keeps you awake at night. All of these come with a cost. Upset stomachs, sleepless nights, disconnection, anxiety, worry, money, physical costs.<\/p>\n
