I just wanted to specify that love does not cause or lead to the wounding or ruptures. In my video I said love led to abuse or neglect. It’s more the case that our biological need for love was expanding us into connection and others neglected or abused us.

Part of the repair in the nervous system is to now see that love is healthy, it’s essential, and that it leads to safety and connection in healthy environments.

This helps to heal relational wounds and repair the activated states of the nervous system that may be present when we search for connection.

Working with attachment is establishing love as a core connection with ourselves that can be shared and reciprocated with others.

This is an exercise that I always utilize in sessions. It can be such an amazing resource to visualize how others support us.

In moments when a client starts to feel an overwhelming response in the body, we may resource the oasis. I may ask the client, “Who could be with you in this difficulty? Who could hold the bigness of these feelings with you?” They may mention their uncle, who was kind and always present. We may then track the response in the nervous system, noticing how a posture of collapse may change into something a little more upright and open. We notice the importance of emotions being held and supported by a part of the client’s oasis.

This exercise highlights how important connection, community, and attachment are for the nervous system. It also informs us that states of the nervous system can be held rather than avoided or neglected. Through the oasis exercise, we see how trauma can bring us together rather than separate us.

We all carry wounding around our self expression and existence. We carry old memories where being ourselves led to shame, rejection, threat, or abuse. I think the core impact of trauma is that it impacted our existence.

Since we hold these patterns of wounding we often experience them as a need to pull ourselves in and suppress ourselves. We share something with someone and then we apologize for it. There is actually something really healthy and important happening when we express. We are opening and expanding and testing the environment to see if it will hold us, love us, approve of us, and connect with us. Yet our past wounding contracts and pulls us away as we apologize for taking up too much time and attention.

I think we have to consciously work on taking up space and no longer apologizing for existing. We can be aware of the space around us, lift up our posture, swing our arms around our body to feel the space around us. No one is asking us to be small and take up less space. In fact most of the time people respond positively to our voice, our expression, and our presence.

Next time you want to apologize don’t. Remember to take up space and exist. Give others the grace and time to accept you and respond to you.

Let us know in the comments how this post lands and if it touches a part of you the may feel the need to apologize and pull inward. Feel free to share.

I try to notice the moments where my attachment wounds become triggered. I notice how a lack of response will tighten my solar plexus, weakness in my legs, and tensing in my heart.

I used to try to figure out what I did wrong or how I caused them to leave. In these moments I was feeling hurt and I was feeling shame at the same time.

Now I find it really helpful to not make myself wrong or responsible when someone creates distance from me. I don’t have to fill the gap of connection with my own hurt and shame.

I can actually use this space to connect with myself. To feel my heart, my solar plexus, and my legs. I can move out of my head and into my sensations. I can also give the other person agency and freedom to make their own choice. To allow movement toward me and away from me when necessary.

This approach has helped me feel free and liberated. It has also deepened my connection with others and has brought more people into my life.

Remember to not make yourself wrong or responsible and give yourself and others space and freedom. Let me know in the comments how this post resonates and connects with your life and experience.

In private sessions we will often take a moment to say out loud, “I survived.” Acknowledging the difficulty of the past while also embracing our own survival.

A lot of times in sessions we then talk about the loved ones, therapists, animals, career, and environments that are apart of our current life. We notice how these people and life situations are felt within the response of the nervous system. We may then look around the office to orient to the present.

When the nervous system moves into the patterns of fight, flight, and freeze we often feel consumed by threat and overwhelm. The nervous system begins to relate to the past instances of trauma.

In these moments we can remember to remind ourselves that we survived, we are alive, we have a present and future. We can think about the safety in our current life. We can also get our feet on the ground and orient to our present environment. Look around your space and say to yourself, “I am alive, I survived.”

While we notice our nervous system become really overwhelmed and threatened we can always remember our capacity to survive and make it through difficulties. Save this post for a time where you may need a reminder of your resilience and survival.

The nervous system can hold on to difficult experiences of survival and the experience of death. Even events such as an attachment figure threatening to leave us or a moment where we thought we could die but lived are held in the nervous system.

When we get triggered we may re experience these big emotional reactions. We are thrown back into the experience of life or death. We may not know that we can survive this reaction with in our body. That we will survive the rapid heart rate, fear, shaking, or heat running through our body.

In these moments we may feel as if everything is wrong, everything is threatening, and that there is no hope and no future. This is because of where we are in our autonomic nervous system. We are in the fight, flight, and freeze response that relates to threat, danger, and the possibility of death.

In these moments we can reassure ourselves. Finding some resilience and grounding the present. Reminding ourselves that we are alive, we survived, we will survive this difficult feeling, and that we have hope and a future. We can get our feet on the ground, lift up in our posture, and feel the physicality of our body.

When we feel moments of extreme activation the nervous system may not know that we can navigate these reactions. Reminding ourselves that we are alive can help us feel safer in our own body.

You being here and present even though you feel stress and activation is a testament to your resilience and capacity.

We put a lot of emphasis on knowing about the nervous system, reading a book, or having a tool to help us in moments of panic or anxiety. We sometimes rely on our intellect to find solutions for our emotions.

We feel that we can read a book or learn a tool to fix a difficult experience that we do not want or like to feel and process.

My personal experience is that regulation comes through support and guidance toward our felt sensations. Feeling someone else present with me as they help me notice an emotion, having someone there with me as I notice more relief and ease, and having a practitioner there with me as I feel shaky and overwhelmed.

This relational experience of being supported and guided does not come through a book, a new somatic tool, or a new influencer that I follow on instagram. It comes through learning how to receive and learning how to be with my body in a way that is grounded through awareness of felt sensations.

I learn how to be relational with myself and feel safer with my own presence and attention.

Books, Instagram, knowledge, and tools are all wonderful but the heart of healing is through receiving and connection rather than the intellect.

Trauma are moments where the nervous system experiences the possibility of death. As we move through life we might be brought back to these moments where our bodies reaction is so bid and overwhelming to experience.

The nervous system is moving back to this past experience of death. This is why we feel powerless, destabilized, unsafe, and hopeless. In these moments there feels as if there is no end to our overwhelming feelings and emotions.

In these moments of overwhelm it can be helpful to remind ourselves that we are alive, we survived, and this difficult feeling will not last forever.

When we do this we remind ourselves of our resilience and our power to make it through difficult moments. Maybe more ease, lightness, settling, and hope can follow difficulties. This is a sign that we continue to survive.

Remember these words next time you feel overwhelmed, “I survived, and I am alive.”

The freeze response puts us in a place where life feels too much and too threatening. We can be functioning in our life and still be operating from a place where we are constantly overwhelmed and feel separate from our own sense of aliveness.

In somatic experiencing sessions we always become curious on how to introduce safe engagement in the present that could lift the client out of freeze. Movement is often a wonderful tool to access more flow, connection, rhythm, and expansion. As a practitioner I will often move my arms and hands with clients to notice more present engagement with life. We will notice how movement lifts the posture, helps us feel our sensations, brings us into the present moment, and introduces flow and rhythm into the body.

A lot of times we will go back into the collapse and freeze and feel the body. Notice that the withdrawal contains emotions and leads to powerlessness. We will then move back toward movement and feel the space this provides to move through and process stress.

Freeze inhibits life energy and treats life as threatening. Through movement we learn to move out of freeze and relate to life through safety.

Next time you feel withdrawn from life introduce movement to the nervous system.

Here is a brief message for anyone who has felt like their dysregulation burdens or harms others. The truth is that in a safe and supportive environment dysregulation can actually be felt and processed.

It’s possible that the restriction, pushing away, and suppressing of our own emotions has come from environments that lacked safety and emotional maturity.

I hope you can carry this message with you. Your anxiety, vulnerability, and sensitivity will not hurt or burden others and it is safe now to feel these states of the nervous system through your physical body and sensations.

01/30/2026

Remember that the same places where you feel anxiety and fear are also the areas of the body where you feel warmth, love, settling, or lightness.

When you push away or avoid negative sensation you also restrict positive sensation. This is because both are connected through the autonomic nervous system.

Try to bring attention to both your positive and negative sensations. Through awareness, tracking, and presence you can flow between these states which creates a greater baseline to tolerate and regulate stress.

It’s helpful to shift our focus to where we feel things rather than why we feel a certain way. When we focus on where we begin to utilize interoception or awareness of the physical body to regulate the autonomic nervous system.

When we observe where we feel a sensation we begin to move toward our implicit experience. The subconscious patterns and reactions of the nervous system. This helps the conscious part of our brain the cerebral cortex to begin to observe and process the primitive reactions of the brain stem and limbic system.

Interoception allows these implicit reactions to be processed through the bodily experience rather than always moving toward thoughts to fix, change, or escape from our feelings and emotions.

Exploring where we feel a response can take us toward the weight in our chest, the settling of our hands, the expression of tears, the closing of our posture, or the opening of our face and heart. By following these reactions we are giving our body time and space to process and feel.

This space of awareness brings movement, flow, rhythm, aliveness, and embodiment to the autonomic nervous system. Through these movements we regulate the nervous system and support release and repair.

On a consistent basis ask yourself where you are feeling a response or reaction. Try to bring awareness and curiosity to your bodies response. Try to let go of controlling, judging, or figuring out the feeling. Through curiosity we can create a foundation of connection and acceptance for our bodies natural reactions to life.

Try to bring some attention to where, rather than why.
