👉While it might not be exceptionally challenging to push it down, holding it there as the waves come and go would require significant amounts of energy, muscle tension and internal bracing.

And when it does resurface?

💦It usually launches into the air, smacks you in the face, and splashes everyone nearby — with emotional outbursts, mysterious fatigue, or that sudden desire to cry in the laundry aisle.

🏀Let the beach ball bob.

It’s safer for everyone. 🩵

⚖️Being able to hold in awareness both the traumatic experience and the resource of the present moment at the same time is exceptionally important in the healing process.

In developmental trauma processing, this becomes about having both the child and the adult in the room, unobstructed and safe enough to communicate. 🩵

👉The "cost of doing business" for the nervous system, which has to dodge emotional landmines on a daily basis, is very high.

Disconnection from difficulty and threat looks like:

🔹Numbness - “Everything’s fine, I feel nothing, we’re good.”

🔸Fatigue - “I’m carrying all the emotions you’re avoiding… I could use a nap… for a month.”

🔹Explosiveness - kicks the door open yelling, “REMEMBER ME?!”

How long before things fall apart?

🙄It sounds inspiring, but it assumes something impossible:

That human beings are linear systems.

We're not.

👉Hormones change us
👉Stress changes us
👉Grief changes us
👉Weather changes us
👉How safe we feel changes us

The idea that every single day must show an upward trend is not only unrealistic – it’s anti-biological.

🍂Nature doesn’t improve every day.
🌲Forests don’t grow in straight lines.
🏃‍♀️Athletes don’t get stronger every workout.

💡There are rest days. Winter seasons. Plateaus. Regressions.

That's not a bug of being human. Fluctuation is the design.

A more human standard would be: "Live today as you are, and respond as wisely as you can.” 🤗

Spiritual bypassing isn’t a lack of depth👇.

💡When the body doesn’t feel safe, going “up” feels easier than going “in.”

Many spiritual practices reward dissociation:

“Rise above”,

“Observe”,

“Detach”,

“Let go.”

The nervous system hears:

“Don’t feel.”

The nervous system doesn’t bypass to avoid truth.

It bypasses to avoid re-experiencing threat. 🛡️

So if you meditate beautifully but struggle with intimacy, rest, or receiving — this isn’t a failure of practice.

It’s often a sign that safety has not been included.

Embodied spirituality doesn’t ask you to transcend the body.

It asks whether the body feels safe enough to stay in it. 🤗

When safety grows, stillness deepens. Presence lasts longer. Spiritual insight has somewhere to land. 🩵

👉Phobias keep you away from body sensations and memories that once felt too overwhelming to feel.

Better to panic about a mouse or a phone call than revisit a moment your nervous system had to survive by checking out.

Phobias say:

🔹“We’re NOT going back into that body sensation.”

🔹“Dissociation is safer than remembering.”

🔹“We definitely could die here.”

Somatically, the “threat” isn’t the external thing —it’s the internal activation your system doesn’t want to revisit. ⚔️

💡Healing means showing your nervous system that those sensations and emotions are now survivable.

Slowly, gently and with support. 🤗

If you can relate, you may find this insightful👇

In our modern society, much emphasis is placed on external goals.

💡But what if the key to achieving our goals lies in turning our focus inwards more, and on creating a stronger sense of safety for our pursuits?

So much motivational-type content is available to us nowadays, emphasizing the need for self-discipline & a willingness to place ourselves in different circumstances or to take different actions if we want to experience different outcomes.

For some, it’s not a lack of determination, but rather the degree of nervous system activation (or stress) that results from placing oneself in different circumstances or doing things differently, that impacts our ability to achieve the desired outcome.

If the actions required to achieve the desired result cause activation that is beyond our capacity - making us feel unsafe or “over-exposed” - our nervous system will put us in “threat physiology” to keep us safe 🛡️.

Some may experience this as lethargy, brain fog, physical pain, ADHD-like responses, recurring pain, procrastination or difficulty making decisions, lack of motivation when planning & problem-solving as just a few examples.

When we build our capacity for self-regulation so that we can better meet our challenges:

👉We make clearer decisions

👉We respond rather than react

👉We can sustain our energy longer, and feel healthier and lighter

👉We bounce back faster from setbacks

That’s why this year, instead of focusing only on external goals, I encourage you to prioritize your nervous system’s capacity so you feel safe enough to take on something different, or more than before 🤗.

What do you find supportive in times of struggle 🩵?

Religion

Humans are flawed.We need rules, authority, and control to behave. Spirituality = submission.

The Blank Slate

We’re born neutral. Everything is learned. Spirituality = programming.

We Are Inherently Good

We’re born oriented toward connection and care. Trauma is distortion, not corruption.

Spirituality = remembering.

👉My journey with Vision Somatics® began long before the model had a name.

As a child, I noticed that I could “see” into people’s physiology.

Walking past someone in a grocery store or sitting in a park, I could sense the health of their organs, areas of vulnerability, and sometimes even illness or injury.

I didn’t seek this out—it simply happened. (As you can imagine, this wasn’t a gift my culture of origin or later academic environments celebrated.)

Like many intuitive capacities that don’t fit neatly into a résumé, it was tucked away for decades. 📦

As I entered somatic therapy and developmental trauma work, this way of perceiving gradually resurfaced—this time grounded in training, theory, and clinical attunement.

What once felt confusing became a precise and nuanced tool for trauma resolution, deepening both my clients’ healing and my understanding of how the body communicates beyond words. 💫

Vision Somatics® supports access to traumatized spaces—within an individual and across lineage—particularly when memories are fragmented or absent (which is often the case in developmental and generational trauma).

Over years of practice, I have also developed a clinically informed collection of therapeutic imagery designed to engage implicit visual memory, support orienting responses, foster coherence, and safely expand nervous system capacity. 💠

Trauma often leaves behind fragmentation, disconnection, and a profound loneliness. By leaning into non-conscious sensory and meaning-patterns, Vision Somatics® helps uncover a quieter path back toward safety, coherence, and connection.

Thankful for clients like Lois who are open to walking the “path less travelled” with me 🩵.
