For most of my life I remember when seeing a spider nearby I'd panic. One time I almost caused an accident with the car because one was crawling in front of me on the window. My partner almost caused an accident because of me climbing from the front seat towards the back but not really watching if I was hindering him whilst driving.
There was always something that would snap and I'd completely loose my sense of what else is around.
It was always a mixture of disgust and panic. Nothing else could make me jump that fast. I could never get close to them unless they were really tiny let alone pick them up with a glass.
I just couldn't stand looking at them through the glass crawling along the inside.

In all my years of working with my own stress physiology a lot has shifted. The spider thing never did and I didn't expect it to. I didn't specifically work on that.

Yesterday one of those big black ones was sitting in the corner of the bathroom. They were having a little party whilst we were on holiday. We found three more. I just took a glass, a piece of paper and threw it out.

And that's when my partner noticed and said: 'That's new'. Because it is new, it is something that I'd never imagined doing. And whilst that might not be the biggest fear or phobia someone can have it did cause stress and almost accidents.
The cool thing is that I wasn't working on this specifically.
I continually support my nervous system and stress physiology and because this is at the root of many seemingly unrelated things a spider phobia can disappear as well as anxiety, pain, the feeling of abandonment, IBS or fybromyalgia.

Is there something that has shifted for you that you never thought would?

We humans are a funny bunch. We are trying to hold on so desperately to specific moments and emotions, forever wanting to have the perfect conditions.

When I've watched the waves, the sun, the clouds, the rain, just nature really then there is always movement involved. Nothing is ever fixed.

Movement is the definition of life. Once that stops, life stops.

So part of this work is bringing back more fluidity, more movement, more life force energy.

How can you start today?

Focus on something or someone that pleasant. If that is too far of a stretch then find something that is neutral.

The medicine isn't in doing more but pausing long enough for you to notice what your body is showing you in that pause.

A lot can happen in that pause. A new revelation of a survival pattern that's hiding in plain sight.

That's the moment that's needed to be able to change a pattern. Because if you aren't aware you'll always do what you've always done and expect different results.

When working with your stress physiology we support your system, your stress organs, your whole organism so your body is able to ease into the unknown.
In that case: Can you stay present when relaxation is there? Can you lean into it without having to move on right away?

I'm here for that support! Let's chat.

When more regulation is felt is felt throughout your whole life.

It touches every aspect of being human.

It is felt in your relationships, in the way your body works, in the way you allow others to be part of your experience, in the way you just land right here, right now with curiosity following your every step of the way.

To a regulated life.

Is it authenticity or just another performance.

Social media is full of people who want to show and share their authenticity.
Authenticity is being praised at the moment and it is exactly that praise we fall victim to. It becomes another exercise to chase that that feeling, that of being high over and over.

And when you don't watch out it is reinforcing the same pattern of approval from the outside.

What your system needs is being witnessed and held, not just another dopamine hit.

The basics of nervous system healing are the foundation that will get you eventually to those big pieces.

But if you can't be with the basics (yet) there is no way that you can be and hold those big terrifying things that have been buried deeply inside of you.

Practice the basics to be able to feel and allow the big stuff to come up naturally when it's ready.

Love, Anna

Yes, you feel like everything is too much. You've been searching for years ,trying out different things or therapies to take away that feeling that is all encompassing.

That feeling that seems to consume you.

That feeling we call stress, anxiety, nervousness, restlessness and uneasiness.

And you've succeeded in some moments and some days.

But are you living?

Are you enjoying live and the precious moments it is offering?

Are you having fun and laughter that fill up your lungs with the sense of movement, of aliveness?

Movement is life, movement is play, movement is expression!

Nervous system work isn't about getting rid of stress. It is building resilience in your system and it is about bringing in more joy.

What is moving for you right now?

With love,

Anna

Regulation is being alive.

Regulation is your system moving freely from activation into deactivation.

It is a system that is resilient.

It is a system that is thriving.

It is a system that can adapt to what is happening around it.

It is important to get to know your own stress physiology and what stress means for you.

Start with the basics of noticing the surface you are sitting on, noticing and following hunger cues or whenever you need to go to the toilet. Noticing your surroundings. Get a master at all of that!

Get a master at going slow.

And as a last:

There are many healing modalities that can be beneficial to support the body.

It doesn't have to start with a somatic trauma practitioner.

Maybe right now your body needs something or someone else to start with.

Building or developing regulation is something very different.

Real regulation is changing the story that you believe is true about the world around you. It is changing the story that you believe about yourself, your worth.

When your story changes, you know that your body found (more) regulation.

The anxiety you've felt when going into a meeting that just vanished.

When your partner is coming home seemingly grumpy and you don't think that you've done something wrong.

When your car breaks down and instead of feeling stressed for the rest of the week you go about your business and have a great day and week anyway.

Come and explore with me how easy your life can be with more regulation. I'm working online and in person.

Love, Anna

That's why dysregulation of the nervous system can show up as trouble sleeping, IBS, emotional outbursts , fybromialgia to name a few.

So when you start to gain more regulation it can have an effect on all those different parts.

The digestive system, heart, endocrine system, blood vessels, the lungs and emotions.

When looking for change or improvement that something is shifting in the right direction you have to look at all these systems.

Then surprisingly the shift might show up somewhere where you didn't expect it to see.

To your nervous system health.
