Document Summary
What you have going on with your life are related to your body/illness. 4 stages the body and self are in relation to one another. 1 primary immediacy: your body and your self are united but mostly because you take the body for granted. The body carries your self around. "i work out" the self is working out and the body is doing what its told. 2 disrupted immediacy: when we first get sick. The self starts to get constrained or limited by the body. Threatens the feeling that the self is in control over the environment. I don"t know my body anymore" when in early stages of illness. 3 cultivated immediacy: generally comes along with longer term illness. A rising above or getting over in some way this opposition between the body and self. We learn to live with/accommodate the ill body.
