“Abdominal cramps are interpreted not merely as muscular or digestive events, but as a fear-based interruption of natural flow — there is fear, therefore the process is being stopped.”

This approach does not deny medical science. It adds a behavioural and consciousness layer that asks why the body chose that expression.
