I couldn’t NOT post this when I saw it ( sorry about the double negative for the language nerds out there !)

In other words …listen to what your body is telling you !

Be that to pause , breathe , show yourself some compassion , exercise , commune with nature …or all of those .

It takes COURAGE to change your old familiar ways and adopt new practices in their place …..but it’s worth every ounce of strength you have inside .

Stop running and feel your emotions , your pain , your tension and be CURIOUS about what your body is trying to tell you 🙂

Your body and mind will thank you 🙏

Awareness
Connectedness
Understanding Stress Physiology
Feeling fear
Capacity Building

Above : the elements of nervous system healing I teach my clients .

Below : the WHY

You can’t heal childhood trauma if you have no awareness of how it shows up in our bodies .

You can’t heal unless you know how to feel your body’s stress response ( to fear /discomfort ) in a manageable way instead of suppressing it.

You can’t do it alone . You need to be connected to a supportive understanding community be it family, friends or a support group .

You can’t heal what you don’t understand ie. your nervous system physiology .You need a certain level of understanding of how your body works to grasp how it affects every aspect of your daily life.

Capacity to sit with and allow feelings to pass organically grows when we put all the above together .

BUT …the ENVIRONMENT in which we live (both relational and physical) influences our ability to stay the course . We do not live in isolation. We cannot expect to fully heal in a chaotic environment …..
however there are some basic tools 🛠️ which can set us on the right path for change !

Emotional Freedom Techniques is just one simple technique ( tool 🔨)which can be used anywhere anytime and which is easy to learn !

Over the years we’ve been led to believe that being traumatized means we are somehow broken—and that trauma only happens to people who are too fragile or flawed to deal with hardship.

But as a researcher, teacher, and survivor, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald has learned that the only thing broken is our society’s understanding of trauma….
“The body’s trauma response is designed to save our lives—and it does,” she says. “It’s not a sign of weakness, but of our function, strength, and amazing resilience.”

In Unbroken: The Trauma Response Is Never Wrong, Dr. McDonald debunks common misconceptions about trauma with the latest evidence from neuroscience and psychology.

In her book Dr Mc Donald dives into :

- What is trauma? The latest science that undoes the stigmas of shame, blame, and humiliation

- The truth about triggers—what they really are and how they can guide the healing journey

-Traumatic patterns—new ways to help break free from recurring habits and toxic patterns .

-Why we can always rewrite our inner narratives, no matter how much time has passed

Dr. McDonald reveals the many ways trauma can manifest and persist in our lives but says it’s the body’s response that reveals the path to healing.

“Our traumatic experiences reveal that we can be bent, dented, or bruised,” she says, “but we cannot be broken.”

For anyone who has gone through trauma , this is an empowering resource for finding your way home to your body, rebuilding relationships, and returning to living a meaningful life.

So that’s it in a nutshell !

We keep doing and doing and doing , all the while producing stress related chemicals which become toxic to our existing biochemistry .

The body turns on itself and we end up with dis-ease .

First steps to reversing the process :
Pause
Ground
Breathe

Repeat
Repeat
Repeat

For next steps , make an appointment to see me !

These used to be the questions that crossed my mind when I was doing a workshop or introducing myself to a new client .

What are they expecting ?
What are they really wanting ?
Will I be able to deliver what they want ?
What if they don’t like it….or me ?

My primary focus is nervous system regulation .

If you are open to an approach that’s different from mainstream counselling , includes various modalities and is tailored you and your issues then give me a call so we can see how we fit .

Like the old tree above , I have a wealth of knowledge and I have lived through the darkest of times which I survived by using the techniques I now offer.

I now no longer ask the “ what if’s “ !

I know the combination of my various modalities works and if my clients are prepared to do the work required to embed their new found strategies into their daily routines they have the ability to change their lives.

There are many types of tree out there , all different , all with different structure and form, pros and cons in terms of what they can do for you .

You can stay with those you know but I hope you may feel inspired to branch out , go out on a limb and find new growth within a different “species”! 🌲! ( Ha Ha ! )

My grandson loves nothing more than being outside in nature , preferably with a stick …which is so much more than a stick …… ! As we know but so often forget …it’s the simple things ! Don’t forget to play !

I Remember as a child
When you’d walk amongst the trees
And you’d find a stick that held
So many possibilities?

It could’ve been an arrow
It could’ve been a sword
It could’ve been a telescope,
A microphone, an oar

It could’ve been a hook you used
To catch things from afar
And it could’ve been a catapult
That launched a shooting star

It could’ve been a flute
That played a song you knew so well
And it could’ve been a wand
Ready to cast a thousand spells

Well, now what if I told you
That the stick was all of these?
Because there lies a certain
Sense of magic in the trees

A magic that reminds us
We are not too old to play
That helps us see the awe and wonder
Wrapped in every day

See, the forest is our playground
And the paths between the trees
Are endless new beginnings
Of adventures to be seized

So grab that stick and row to shore
Then search the midnight sky
Play your favourite song
Then cast a spell that makes you fly

Catch a shooting star
Then launch it back beyond the clouds
Search for hidden gold
And mark an X upon the ground

Remember how it feels to live
Like you’ve nothing to lose
When just a simple stick can be
Whatever you might choose

Then seize those new beginnings
Strewn across the forest floor
‘Cause adventure’s out there waiting
So, what are you waiting for?

Currently shopping for brown paper and string to wrap up my packages .
Will be back as fast as wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings…..

For those who think I’ve finally lost the plot and too young to remember ( lots of you I suspect !) ..the above lyrics are from the song
“My Favourite Things” sung by Julie Andrews in
The Sound of Music.

The lyrics are telling us that , in times of trouble and stress , remembering a few of our favourite things can help lessen the associated anxiety and bring about a feeling of calm .

Little did she know she was ahead of her time in terms of helping the children she cared for to learn about nervous system regulation !! Go Julie !

Anyway , this post was really meant to be about the fact that I’ll be back with many other nervous system tips healing tips and tricks a bit quicker than the wild geese( they had the moon in their wings for goodness sake !) ……..on the 16/01/22 !

I’ll still be on the ground ( as opposed to flying like the geese !) for all things GOOD RIDDANCE though so feel free to pick up your products from .made.market in Lavington Square !

Have a great break and I’ll see you on the other side in 2024 !! 💥
