Let’s talk about it.

A lot of people come to me feeling ashamed because they “didn’t handle something the right way.”

But here’s the thing: when your brain senses a threat, it’s not trying to help you be wise or witty, it’s just trying to keep you 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦.

Picture this: you’re at dinner with family and friends, having a good time, totally relaxed.

Then out of nowhere, a family member cracks a joke at your expense.

In front of everyone.

Instantly, your body goes from calm to defensive. Maybe you snap back. Maybe you freeze. Maybe you say something you wish you hadn’t.

And afterwards, you beat yourself up for it.

But what really happened is simple:
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 “𝐈’𝐦 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲” 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐨𝐫-𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞.

And when that happens?
Your thinking brain goes offline. Not forever, just long enough to make you react instead of respond.

This isn’t a character flaw. It’s biology.

The good news?

You can actually train yourself to stay calmer in those moments and bring your thinking brain back online faster.

It’s a skill, and it’s absolutely learnable. You can turn a similar situation around if you can take control of your brain in those crucial times.

If my internet is low and I have an online session I opt to connect my computer to mobile data.

But somehow, I’ve got the perfect combination:

An old iPhone with a moody laptop.

If one of them is grumpy, there is nothing I can do.

They are not connecting!

Solution: get a new wifi!

Comment reconnect, and I will give you a short exercise on how to reconnect with yourself!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧, 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

It’s that somewhere along the way, you became disconnected from yourself, from your needs, your feelings, and your inner voice.

And none of this is your fault.

When you grow up in an environment where your emotions were dismissed, misunderstood, or punished, you learn to shut down the real you to survive.
You learn to be who others need you to be.
You learn to keep the peace, stay small, and avoid being “too much.”

So today, as an adult, you move through life without a clear sense of your own power, not because you never had it, but because you were never allowed to feel it.

Even if you don’t realise it, there are moments when the real you shows up.
Moments where you feel calm, confident, connected, and clear.
Moments where you feel grounded in your body instead of anxious and on edge.

But those moments feel accidental.
Short.
Hard to hold onto.
And almost impossible to recreate.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝.

When you are connected to yourself, everything changes.
Life feels less chaotic.
You don’t spiral as quickly.
You don’t question your worth.
You don’t overthink every word you say.
You feel more grounded, more steady, more you.

This is the difference between people who move through life with ease and emotional stability and those who constantly feel overwhelmed and stuck.

It’s not luck.
It’s not personality.
It’s not circumstances.

It’s nervous system safety.
It’s self-connection.
It’s feeling safe enough to be who you really are.

Your internal world shapes how you feel in every relationship, conversation, and moment of your life.

And reconnecting with yourself, gently, safely, and with support, is what allows you to finally experience the peace, clarity, and connection you’ve been longing for.

What was your inner child's intense pleasure?

What was the activity that filled you the most with the yammy feelings of love, curiosity and excitement?

To be honest, when I was a child, I loved to travel and do new things. I was getting so excited, I couldn't sleep all night long.

What made you so excited that you couldn't wait for the morning to come?

Do you know why I chose to focus on anxiety besides the fact that maybe all therapists are working with anxiety?

Because I observed is deeply affecting your day-to-day life.
When you are triggered and start to spiral, life takes on a darker lens. Nothing seems to work in your favour. You’re battling invisible threats, and everything around you feels blurred.

In this state, your decisions are guided by fear, not clarity. Your vision narrows. You may not see the opportunities to solve your problems, even if they’re right in front of you. Your nervous system isn’t looking for solutions; it’s looking for safety.

It’s exhausting, deeply distressing, isolating....

If you come from developmental trauma, you may find yourself moving from one trigger to another. Feeling grounded, calm, and safe can feel as rare as an exotic fruit.

And then you wonder… how are others living seemingly easy lives while every day for you feels like a battle?

It’s not because you’re special, or because life decided to make you miserable. It’s because you’ve learned to live in survival mode, where your main focus is safety, and the last thing you feel is safe.
That can feel like a trap. And in many ways, it is. You’re caught in a trauma feedback loop.

But here’s the truth: you can come out of this loop. Life can feel different. You can notice opportunities, feel safer in your own body, and make choices with clarity instead of fear.

That’s why I focus on helping people deal with trauma and anxiety. Because life can be different, once you step out of the trauma loop, you can finally breathe, think, and live again.

Do you know those moments when something tiny triggers you and suddenly, you’re spiralling into anxiety and stress?

Yeah… I know that feeling too.

It starts with a small worry that sneaks into your mind.
You try to brush it off, but it keeps coming back.
Your body tenses, your heart starts racing, and before you know it, anxiety takes over.

And of course, your brain wants answers.
If it’s about your health, you want a doctor to say, “You’re fine.”
If it’s about a relationship, you need to talk it out.
If it’s work, you want to fix the problem.

Makes sense, right?

But what about those times when there’s no clear problem...
And yet your body feels tense, your mind is racing, and your anxiety is through the roof?

That’s your nervous system stuck in fight, flight, or survival mode.
If you’ve ever wondered why your brain sounds the alarm when nothing’s actually wrong, and more importantly, how to calm it down....

You’re going to want to hear what’s coming next.

I’m putting together a workshop where I’ll break this down in simple, practical ways:

👉 What’s really happening inside your brain and body?

👉 Tools you can use right away to relax your nervous system.
Trust me, your body will thank you for it. 💛

Stay tuned, I’ll share more details very soon.

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling on Facebook, and while scrolling, I found a course on polyvagal theory.
Immediately, it took all my attention.

I said to myself, “Waaw, I love this approach!”
I bought the course straight away.

My gut wasn’t wrong; the course “Treating Trauma and Addiction with Polyvagal Theory and Felt Sense” proved to be the missing piece I’ve been wanting to learn more about lately.

The more I progress as a therapist, the more interested I am in nervous system regulation and somatic exercises in treating trauma.

Jan Winhall is such a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist and educator. Her voice and presence are incredibly calming.

The safety she created opened the group up, and vulnerability and growth followed.

I’m looking forward to sharing more with you soon.
If you find it hard to regulate your nervous system or calm yourself, stay close.

🤩 I’m preparing something amazing, your body and nervous system will thank you for it.

I even bought the books to deepen the skills I already have.

Fear is normal; living in fear is not!
