I had an injury last May that totally changed my life and perspective to many things. After the injury I became ten times dysregulated. Before injury I built incredible capacity in my nervous system as I was stuck in functional freeze for decades. The challenge for me after the injury is feeling safe again in my environment and body, I was experiencing consistant feeling of danger going all through my body. Nothing was calming me down.
My therapist suggested to give the system time and ride these huge waves of anger, regret, shame, blame, fear. Try to be curious and LISTEN to what my body needs.
Resourcing to Irene Lyon 21 Days and all of her Youtube channel helped me a lot to process and be with my sympathetic nervous system. Listening to the sensory exercises at bedtime was soothing to me.
I noticed that even after gaining some capacity, an accident might happen and new layers of surprises may come up to the surface. I am grateful for that injury for opening my eyes to more self worth and empathy. Consistency, awareness and the will are the keys.
Thank you Irene and Team for all you do ❤️?
