When you notice yourself becoming afraid, confused, and when everything feels threatening, remind yourself: I am in my sympathetic nervous system. Remind yourself that you are moving into a perception of threat.

Then, tell yourself to come back down. Slow down your movements, unclench your fists, bring awareness to your emotions, and tune into your body.

Underneath your sympathetic response, there is so much more space for settling, softening, and stabilizing the nervous system.

When you go up, remember to gently and slowly bring yourself back down to the rhythm of safety and regulation.

Feeling more parts of our body means we have more say and control over how we react to life. We may be able to feel stressed and burdened through our neck and chest. We may feel the weight of responsibility and feel pressured by the needs of others.

While we may notice these areas of stress and tension we may also feel more open through our chest and relaxed in our stomach. This awareness may give us space to slow down and help us find time alone.

Practices like the one I shared in this video help us to notice more parts of our body. This practice helps us to relate to all of the signals and sensations that are felt and experienced.

A lot of times we need other sensation to counteract our stress, fear, shame, and anxiety. To feel that we can find ease, opening, settling, and stability even though we feel stressed. This helps us to move toward our nervous system to process and regulate stress.

Hopefully this practice will give you a simple tool to track your bodies sensations and will also help you to listen to these signals. They can help you to create new ways of relating to yourself and life.

Trauma is fast and healing is slow.

Slowing down can help us to bring attention to our body. To feel some sense of control over our autonomic nervous system. Slowing down gives us space to feel and notice how our body is reacting. We can slow down the movements of our hands, slow down our breathing pattern, place a hand on our chest, and feel our feet on the floor.

While stress takes us up into our thoughts slowing down brings us back to our body.

As we slow down we can then try to bring attention to the parts of us the feel anxious and worried. Holding these sensations with care and compassion. Slowing down helps us to be with our anxiety and in return helps us to settle and soothe our nervous system.

Slow down to feel, slow down to process, slow down to come home to your sensations.

We may logically understand that our fear-based thoughts are not real, but our body reacts as if the fear is real. We do not always understand that the fear is a signal from our body to our brain. Our brain then creates an autonomic response in order to produce stress hormones. This increases the threat level of the nervous system to mobilize more energy to protect us.

Fear comes from a visceral reaction that triggers the production of stress hormones. This is why we may logically understand that we are not in danger, yet our body is still responding to protect us.

Fear can be addressed by observing our thoughts, then bringing attention to the felt sense of our fear, and then slowing ourselves down and holding the fear with awareness. Instead of trying to rationalize why we should not be afraid, we can work on validating our fear and regulating our nervous system.
Through awareness of fear and moving toward our body, we give ourselves a practice. Over time, our body becomes the place we move toward for stability and safety. This comes from a relational process of acknowledging fear-based thoughts and addressing the places in the body where fear is held.

So much of our anxiety moves up into our throat, face, head, and shoulders. These areas begin to feel overexposed to signals of threat. We are like a satellite dish that is picking up on all of the external signals of threat and we are putting out signals of danger through our bodies response. We tend to move up into so much mental activity that is based on fear and danger.

When this happens we can start to express this fear through our physical body. We want to get out of our head and come down to our body where we can move the nervous system toward safety.

First we can move our hands and arms to express the fear and anxiety. Use a rapid pace of moving the arms and pushing outward with our hands.

Second we can slow ourselves down to bring the nervous system into more organization. Noticing how we can have some control over our anxiety. We can slow down and feel a more gentle experience with in our sensations.

Third we can reassure ourselves. Remind ourselves that we are here and feel the form of our body that can ground and stabilize the nervous system.

These three steps will give you an embodied approach to regulate anxiety and hypervigilance.

After practicing this approach let me know how it goes in the comments.

I think we are all searching for a space where we can be met without judgment—a place where our experience can be felt and processed without being judged or rejected.

The nervous system responds to having space. When there is more room, there is greater capacity to feel sensations like shame or hypervigilance. More space to track and follow negative sensations also creates more space to feel positive sensations—such as settling and ease.

Your nervous system will always respond positively to having more space and freedom to feel and express. This is what helps us move through and beyond traumatic experiences of the past.

All of your feelings belong and can be met with care and compassion. Tracking your nervous system with acceptance and non-judgment supports regulation of the autonomic nervous system.

When working with freeze, we create small windows where the nervous system can respond and process. Chronic states of stress arise when the nervous system is trying to handle more than it can manage.

These little windows give the nervous system the chance to navigate through stress and then settle into a sense of safety. For example, we may feel aggression or frustration and express this through clenching our fists and pounding them away from the body. This kind of movement engages the sympathetic nervous system. Rather than shutting down and freezing, this form of expression creates a small window for reaction and settling.

When this process is repeated over and over, it helps to strengthen the parasympathetic nervous system. We become more capable of processing stress in the moment, rather than remaining stuck in a chronic state of vigilance and freeze.

These small windows of mobilization and settling help bring the nervous system out of chronic states of stress and overwhelm.

I recently had a great example of using tracking to support my nervous system. Something happened, and I felt extremely disappointed. I had plans to do something I was excited about, but my plans changed.

I immediately turned to my practice of tracking. I felt my head drop, a flush through my neck and face, and sadness in my eyes. As I tracked this pattern in my nervous system, I also began to feel my legs connecting with the floor, my slow and steady heart rate, and a steady awareness as I held my body’s sensations.

Tracking in this moment helped me feel the pain and sadness, as well as notice other parts of my body that felt less reactive. Having both experiences together helped me stay present with my feelings of disappointment.

As I continued to track, I felt myself becoming more accepting of the situation and less overwhelmed and exposed.

In Somatic Experiencing, we teach clients how to track their nervous systems and follow their bodies as stress rises and settles—through their own attention and awareness.

Try simply tracking your body next time you get triggered. Take a small amount of time to notice your body’s response and hold your sensations with awareness. Tracking is the main tool I use to regulate my nervous system.

There is a really good reason why men are afraid to be vulnerable. It comes from all the moments where our vulnerability was shamed, abandoned, or left unsupported. If we are repeatedly left in our vulnerability then of course we will go into an avoidant pattern.

We will harden our muscles, tense our face, stiffen our chest, and pull ourselves inward to protect the part of us that was never loved and supported. For all men we have to notice the burden, pain, and struggle that is created from holding our feelings in. It takes a lot of effort to push away our emotions. This pattern does not support us to feel alive, open, free, and connected to our life.

What men really need is to understand that on the other side of vulnerability is not another moment of rejection or abuse. Men need to experience that on the other side of emotional expression is warmth, love, co regulation, and a deep release of burden.

Men hold so much in and through support they can finally let go and reclaim their emotions. They can feel the softening, opening, settling, and relief that comes from emotional regulation.

We often place more value on big releases in the nervous system, while overlooking the importance of consistently tuning into the smaller, everyday responses of our bodies.
For me, “touching in” has become one of the most important daily practices. I might notice a clenching in my jaw or a tightness in my stomach. When I do, I take a moment to check in—bringing gentle attention to these areas and simply feeling my body’s response.
When we’re dysregulated, we can feel overwhelmed for long stretches of time. Touching in helps us process just a little bit of that activation at a time. It offers small windows to work through tension and stress, piece by piece.
Over time, we build the ability to move toward our body not just in moments of ease, but also in times of fear or threat. This practice of touching in—of being present with our sensations—can help us develop a deeper capacity to stay with ourselves.
