Tears are not weakness. They are one of the most sophisticated emotional release mechanisms your body has.

Research on crying shows that emotional tears contain stress hormones and other chemicals not found in basal tears (the tears that keep your eyes moist). In other words, crying literally removes stress chemicals from your body.

Crying activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest, digestion, and recovery. It's why you often feel exhausted but peaceful after a good cry.

In my practice, I see so many people, especially men, who have learned to suppress tears. Their faces tighten. Their shoulders knot. They carry grief and stress in their bodies because they have nowhere else to put it.

I tell them: tears are not the enemy. They are the body's way of saying, "This is too big to hold inside."

Allow the cry. Even when no one understands why. Even when it surprises you. Even when it feels inconvenient.

If you can't cry in public, find a safe space. Your car. Your shower. Your bedroom with the door closed. A trusted friend's shoulder.

Research shows that suppressing emotions is associated with increased inflammation, higher stress hormones, and worsened mental health. Allowing emotions, while difficult, is associated with better outcomes.

Your body is wise. If it wants to cry, let it.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to really cry?

This post by Dr Glenn Patrick Doyle caught my attention! It really gives a great analogy of a nervous system in fight flight. Stressed to the max!
This is where Spinal Flow can help. By assisting the body to shift into a state of rest, heal,repair, change can start to happen and the redlining nervous system can begin to slow down.

Pretty sure this is a plant that randomly appeared in my garden this year. I thought it was cute 😬 I best get rid of it!

This Wednesday's w**d profile is about Balloon cotton (Gomphocarpus physocarpus)

Originally from South Africa, it’s so named because the fruits are large rounded balloon like sacks with soft spines. When the fruit is mature the balloons open to release cotton like threads that encase seeds inside the pod.

Look for:
🌿 a woody herb that grows 50-150 cm tall
🌿leaves are linear to narrow, 4-7 cm in length, 0.6-2 cm wide, and taper to a fine point
🌿flowers from spring to autumn, and flowerheads consist of clusters of 5-10 drooping flowers appearing in the leaf axils
🌿if a leaf or stem is damaged, a milky latex will seep out.

Balloon cotton is usually seen invading cleared areas, alluvial soils and pastures. Some plants can germinate in good ground cover areas, although this is uncommon. Balloon cotton is toxic to cattle, sheep, horses, and goats, though it is rarely eaten because it’s so unpalatable.

Physical removal is possible for young seedling, but if they are larger they may have to be chipped out. It is essential to remove crowns and lateral roots to prevent suckering. For dense populations, slashing with follow up herbicide can be an effective method.

For more information and control strategies, contact your nearest Local Land Services agronomist, Council w**ds officer or rural store.

Just breathe 🧡

Hey everyone 🍁I’m currently doing a course to prepare myself to run half day or full day Spinal Flow retreats.
I’m on the hunt for a space to hold them ♥️ I would need enough space to accommodate 3 massage tables with the option of an additional space for a meditation circle.
My ideal space wish-list would include some surrounding bushland, water or other calm space to allow participants to relax and escape from their daily routine. If you have any suggestions please add them in the comments.
💡 Additionally, feel free to add anything that would appeal to you if you were to attend a day retreat.

Spinal Flow is a great way to help manage the build up of internal stress. Think of it as releasing the pressure valve and letting the steam out, a reset for the nervous system, calming the mind, reducing melt downs and increasing one’s ability to better manage the demands of life.

The Breaking Point of an Invisible Struggle
For many people living with ADHD, there are moments where a small frustration suddenly erupts into an intense emotional storm. To an observer, it might look like an overreaction or a sudden loss of temper. It might even be labeled as "rage." But inside the mind of the person experiencing it, the reality is far more complex. This isn't anger in the traditional sense; it is the sound of a nervous system that has finally hit its absolute limit. When you have been juggling sensory input, managing executive dysfunction, and masking your struggles all day, one final straw can shatter your ability to regulate. What comes out isn't an act of aggression—it is a cry for help from a brain that is literally in pain from being overextended.

Understanding the ADHD Meltdown
The "ADHD meltdown" is often rooted in a state of chronic overwhelm. Because our brains lack a filter for sensory and emotional information, we are constantly absorbing more data than we can process. We try to keep it all together, forcing ourselves to remain calm while the internal pressure builds. Eventually, the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for logic and emotional control—simply goes offline. When this happens, the amygdala takes over, triggering a fight-or-flight response. This "anger" is actually a defensive reflex. It is the body’s way of saying, "I can't take one more sound, one more question, or one more demand." It is a physical manifestation of being emotionally and mentally flooded.

Transitioning from Guilt to Regulation
The aftermath of these moments is often paved with deep shame and regret. We look back at how we acted and feel like "bad" people, which only adds more stress to our already fragile nervous system. To break this cycle, we have to start recognizing the signs of the "simmer" before it reaches a boil. Understanding that your irritability is a symptom of overwhelm allows you to take action—like stepping into a quiet room or removing a sensory trigger—before the explosion happens. By validating the pain behind the anger, we can stop punishing ourselves for our limits and start building a lifestyle that respects our need for space and recovery.
