No one talks about the importance of grieving past toxicity for your nervous system.

How the grief is a vital emotional and physiological process for the body to register the change, to actually move forward into embodying something new.

Discomfort isn't always danger. Sometimes it's a defence, a response asking for more somatic capacity to move through it.

Sometimes it's a genuine protective signal that something isn't for you, and sometimes it's both!

If you're always leaning away, you can't feel the difference.

Follow for more ways to understand the felt nuance of your intuition through a deeper connection with your body.

We are always in a cycle of expansion and contraction - both are important. But when overwhelming emotions arise, to control them, the body can hold a contraction in place. Over time, this can lead to chronic tension patterns and signals in your system.

Your relationship with your breath is one of the keys to unwinding these patterns. Every inhale and exhale mirrors this expansion and contraction cycle.

What’s one area of your body that holds tension?

"I don't understand because things in my life are actually way better than they were, so why is my emotions or bodily symptoms feeling even stronger and worse?"

Is what I was asked this week, and it comes up often.

So, forgive the very rough drawings, here's my illustration of the answer.
A bit of nervous system education.

(I'm far away from my Art A-Level perfectionist now, lol)

Your overthinker is loyal and brilliant even.

It runs every scenario, maps every exit, and builds elaborate contingency plans for things that haven't happened yet, and possibly won't.

But here's what it's actually doing: keeping you in a holding pattern just far enough from the feeling it's convinced will break you.

If you're ready to work with it rather than around it, OVERTHINKER'S PARADISE (in bio) is a good place to start.

Discomfort isn't always danger.

Sometimes it's a defence, a response asking for more somatic capacity to move through it.

Sometimes it's a genuine protective signal that something isn't for you.

And sometimes it's both!

The problem?
If you're always leaning away, you can't feel the difference.

If you've been wondering whether avoidance is keeping you safe or keeping you small, the Breath & Body Workshop is a gentle place to start. Link in bio.

I was talking to girlfriend recently who was like 'What you can process fear, I didn't know that?! I just feel afraid of everything'

And it just made me realise how I WISH everyone could have this experience - the experience of feeling and processing fear in the body calmly. It changed my world and I want to share it.

We work on this inside Overthinker's Paradise for sure. So if you want to learn, come and join.

mind the gap..
The gap between what you cognitively desire,
and what your nervous system feels is known and therefore safe enough to allow you to embody.

Somatics allows you to close the gap through making the experience you desire more known in the body. This is my bread and butterrrr with clients, and I love it. 😌🍞🧈

The gap between what you cognitively know and what you actually live is not a thinking problem. It's a somatic one.

And if you don't know what's living in that gap, you'll maintain it.

The bridge across this gap isn't more analysis. It's building enough safety in the body that the unknown becomes something you can actually inhabit, not just understand.

The Breath & Body Workshop is a good place to begin - links on my page.
