We’ll worth reading, miss 11 is currently being assessed for dyslexia …
…. what her brain & body needs and how the the nervous system processes has been a critical part of how we have been supporting her and her learning 💫

Understanding our Nervous System...��A few years ago I thought I better get my hearing checked. As a teenager and in my 20’s my parents always said that I talked really loudly so I thought I better get it checked. So off I went to an audiologist not really having much idea what I was getting tested.
�The lovely lady tested my hearing and also several different aspects of my auditory processing…background noise, competing noises, tone, speed, working memory and a few others. Half way through one of the tests I basically had a mild panic attack. I had a huge flush of heat rush over my whole body, my heart raced, chest tightened and I totally lost all ability to know what I was meant to be doing during the test. I actually stopped and said sorry I don’t know what I am suppose to do. She gently paused and said that’s ok, most of those were wrong anyway….��Turns out I really struggle to process the incoming information when there is lots of background noise, competing noises and struggle to differentiate between tones. I can determine speed easily though which makes sense as to why I love listening to audio books on double speed. ��This new understanding didn’t changed a huge amount for me but it has provided me with information and understanding about my needs now and also growing up. As a kid it was tightly held as anxiety and no one really noticed. For my poor University friends who I was always looking over to their notes saying ‘What did he just say?’ (a time well before online lecture notes!) I just thought I was ‘slow’ at writing notes. And as an adult realising just how much I lip read when out or read the captions on TV shows.
Only in recent years have I really worked out how much energy I use in social functions and what it feels like in my body when I am reaching sensory overload.

Why am I sharing this now?

It was a very big weekend for me. A night out with friends, music, conversations and loud background noise. And then a quiz night for my husbands basketball. It was at the stadium, 10 tables of people, the sound system was a long way away and hard to hear for everyone, my son was running around and sounded like an elephant in his sneakers and then I had to focus on the questions. Honestly, it sounded like the quiz master was underwater. I tried to listen for the first few rounds. Every time asking others on the table ‘What did he say again?’ But by about half way through I was done. I had switched off and could feel myself wanting to retreat, I even sat with my hands over my ears for some of the time. The agitation in my nervous system reaching a point where I just needed to get home. Now two days later I can still feel the hangover effect of the sensory overwhelm. Yesterday I was tired, grumpy and easily agitated. Any ‘extra’ noise from children I just could not tolerate and I felt exhausted. It came out in hard parenting moments. �
I wanted to share as understanding the nervous system and sensory systems has been a huge part of meeting my own needs and also understanding my children’s needs.
�Over the next month I will be sharing more about the nervous system and things I use for myself and as a therapist in hope that it is helpful for you and your family. ��What questions do you have for me? 💛💛

Universal intelligence works with an energetic principle that will keep bringing more and more people and circumstances into our lives that reflect wounds that are holding us back from reaching our highest potential until we make peace with those things that hurt us or took away our divine love and power. When we are in a pattern of experiencing something difficult over and over again, we often experience anguish and frustration that can shut down our ability to feel at all. What is happening to you is not meant to destroy you. It is actually the attraction of something into your life that is meant to help you understand yourself and grow in significant way. The lesson is not the ultimate outcome. It is what allows you to break open to see the wounding and to put loving energy and consciousness into healing it so that you can feel differently about yourself. Learning to communicate with your emotional wounds and befriend your child self as a loving protective parent is the way that you can heal and not allow what happened to you to destroy you and bring unhealthy dynamics into your life.

Reminder to myself…❤️

Sometimes when we get stuck in the box of our perceived limitations, instead of dismantling the box, we try to make the box more comfortable.

But instead of settling, we can find the courage to step out of these perceived limitations and into the space of what’s possible for ourselves and discover new ways of being in the world.

💫 How do your patterns play out?

💫 Kinesiology can help you become more self aware of said patterns, it can also help facilitate new ones.

💫 Just imagine … Living your full potential.

💫 Appointments available Tuesdays & Thursdays

Our childhoods create patterned ways of being.

Those patterned ways of being become our survival strategies, our habits, our vulnerabilities, our behaviors.

They become our life....if we aren't conscious.

If we aren't aware....we will wake up one day and realize....not only did my childhood help create who I am....my current life is defined by it.

It doesn't have to be.

You get the choice.

You can do the work to take your life back. To integrate your brain so that YOU are leading.....not your patterned ways of being.

YOU.

Raise your awareness to who is leading in your life.

Are you still stuck in old patterned ways of being taught by dysfunctional people?

This chapter is yours.
Grab it.
Hold on.

Let's integrate.

Exciting things happening over here at Get Grounded. Can't wait to bring you more programs and more ways to heal and integrate with me.

You get the choice. This is your life. Let's take it back.
