This Sunday May 17th at 2pm we will be doing another round of breath work. I can't tell you how vital breath work has become to my life. I use it several times per month to move stuck emotions from my body or gain insight for things that are holding me back. And the beauty of it is - you choose. What is the area you need break thru in? Then all you do is breathe. Link for tickets is below. Hope to see you there!

When asked how we are doing the vast majority of us default to "I'm good" or "fine" or "I'm okay." How many of us have said this when it wasn't true? I know I have. Repeatedly. And I recognize that when I am honest and vulnerable about what is actually going on in my life - it is WAAAAY more scary. It takes courage to admit, I'm not okay. To ask for help or support. Even more so to go see a therapist or counselor.

I have seen our culture grow in acceptance of mental health care. It is becoming less taboo and yet, I still think we have a long way to go. Especially for men. So - if you are struggling. Smiling and telling people you are good when underneath you can't breathe - I see you. I've been you. The best thing I ever did for myself was seek help. No one needs to know. But be courageous. For you.

Still such a good quote. And one that I find to be so true. As I have learned more skills and healed from past trauma the difficult moments in life don’t shake or scare me. I can manage myself in rough waters and no longer believe they will take me out. So cheers! To the healing journey and learning to steer your ship. If you are interested in going on that journey yourself let me know!

I shared this is January but I am going to share it again so that we have all of our nervous system responses lined up and easily accessible to all of you. Flop is the last of the 5 (fight, flight, freeze, fawn & flop) that I have covered over the past week. Flop is nervous system overload or shut down. Exhaustion, apathy, numbness, lack of motivation, inability to concentrate or care about anything. Your nervous system got so overwhelmed it just gave up. This state - is where I see people struggle with the most shame. We hate ourselves or beat ourselves up for struggling to function. I want to stress that it isn't your fault. There IS a valid reason. So first off, go put an ice pack on your chest while you sleep or binge a show. This cools off your vagus nerve and will over time pop you out of the worst of it. Then - come see me. We will find the root cause together so you no longer have to suffer alone.

The other one that we all know and love - our fight response. However, I think many of us think of this like flight and recognize only the dramatic embodiment of it. Road raging as you drive or raising your voice at someone in anger. But do you ever notice your body is tense and you are arguing with someone in your head? Playing an imaginary argument in your head on repeat? Or listing all the reasons the other person is wrong and defending them? This is also a fight response that we want to become aware of because in the awareness we can bring care, kindness, safety. Things that will help us as we move forward in a new way. Awareness - is truly where we start the journey.

One of the more commonly known survival responses and yet we don't always notice we are doing it, especially if you are not just looking at the physical but the mental aspects of it. Do you want out of your relationship every time you have a disagreement? That's part of flight. It's also helpful to notice in those around you. If your partner is the one that ran away; flew out the door to go on a walk or a drive - you know they are triggered. Give them space. Let them regulate. While there gone, regulate yourself so that when you come back together the conversation can be navigated more successfully.

Continuing from yesterday's post where I share information on the fawn response, today we are doing freeze. If you think about a deer or a rabbit freezing so a predator doesn't see them, you have the right idea. And guess what? Humans do it too! Have you ever been asked a question that you knew the answer to but your brain suddenly goes blank? Or felt like you were outside yourself as you went through your day? These are part of the freeze nervous system response. Learning what to look for is a great way to learn how and when you need to do some nervous system care. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. Most importantly - remember we ALL have a nervous system and all experience these responses in our day to day lives. What varies is which responses we experience to what stimuli, the degree of activation, and how long it lasts. Nervous system responses are part of being human. Learning to care for your system is part of healing.
