What happens in your past impacts neuroception: how you detect it people and places are safe, dangerous or life threatening.

The detection of a person, your environment, or even internal sensations of your body as safe or dangerous, triggers changes in your nervous system.

This happens in primitive parts of the brain outside of conscious awareness.
Even though you may not be aware of it cognitively, your nervous system has made changes that lead to fight/flight/freeze.

When you learn how your physiology changes after chronic stress and trauma you learn that it’s not you, it’s your nervous system that's responding this way.

Anyone who has been through prolonged adversity could have changes to their neuroception system that makes them more alert to danger signals.

You're not choosing to move into fight/flight/freeze and it's not your fault. –

Our bodies hold so much our brains don't yet know how to hold. You can trust your tiredness. You can trust your desire to rest, to do less, to stop pretending all is well, normal, good. All is not well, normal, or good - and admitting this is no weakness or flaw of yours. It is a sign of your humanity.

May we find ways to let ourselves be human in this. May we all have what we need to stop forcing our bodies and selves to keep moving as if we lived in a different world, and start listening to what our bodies need in the world we're actually moving through. – Lisa Olivera
