There’s a place for understanding your patterns.
For reflection. For changing the way you think.
For making sense of why you do what you do.
That’s top-down work and it matters.
But sometimes you can have all the insight in the world and your body still responds before your thinking brain has had a chance to catch up.
That’s where bottom-up work comes in.
Working through the body, sensory systems, movement and nervous system gives us another way into the patterns that aren’t always shifted through awareness alone.
For me, the work isn’t about choosing one or the other.
It’s about integration.
Top down + bottom up.
Mind + body.
Understanding + experience.
Because lasting change isn’t just about what you know.
It’s about what your whole system learns to experience differently.
DM Reset for a simple bottom up exercise. Great place to begin.
