We are intelligently designed humans, and one of our oldest evolutionary systems is our Autonomic Nervous System. Herein lies the secret to our survival; where our breath, heart rate, circulation, digestion all happen without us ever having to think about it.
So why then do we so often feel not quite ourselves, or that we are limited by our own habitual patterns, ways of thinking, feeling, etc?
The answer might lie in our own "stuck" survival response known as fight, flight or freeze.
Trauma may begin as acute stress from a perceived life-threat or as the end product of cumulative stress. Both types of stress can seriously impair a person’s ability to function with resilience and ease. Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual or physical assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear and conflict.
What if there was a gentle way to guide ourselves, our nervous systems, to develop an increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and emotions?
The good news is, there is a way.
