So much trauma healing gets stuck because we’re taught to work at the surface.

We try to calm the anxiety.
Manage the reactions.
Regulate the symptoms.

But underneath all of that are parts of us — younger versions that learned how to survive in environments where safety wasn’t consistent.

These parts shaped our nervous system.

At the time, they had no tools.
No capacity.
No choice.

Their only role was to survive.

So they adapted.

They suppressed their needs.
Stayed quiet.
Kept the peace.
Became responsible, “good”, or invisible — whatever was needed to stay safe.

And because these strategies worked, the nervous system kept them.

This work is often avoided because we don’t want to go back.
We’re scared of what we might unravel if we look at the past.
So we bypass it.

But those younger parts don’t disappear just because we stop looking at them.

They’re still alive in the nervous system.

And when you feel activated, reactive, anxious, or flooded, it’s often not adult you responding — it’s one of those parts sounding the alarm.

They’re reacting from a time when the threat was real.

Because the nervous system doesn’t work in time.
It works in pattern.

Through neuroception, your body is constantly asking:
Am I safe? Or is this familiar danger?

And it answers by drawing from its internal database — past experiences, adaptations, everything that had to be carried to survive.

This is why one powerful question is:

Does my environment match my reaction?

And so often, it doesn’t.

Not because you’re broken.
But because a younger part is responding to a perceived threat, not a present one.

Healing isn’t about forcing reactions away.

It’s about meeting the parts that learned to survive — with compassion and safety — so they no longer have to protect in the only way they know how.

When those parts feel seen, the alarm softens.
The body settles.
And the nervous system learns that now is different from then.

Love always,

Comment RESTORE and I’ll send you my free Healing Your Nervous System meditation.✨

So much of the time, our nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do —
scanning for what might be unsafe.

It’s not pessimism.
It’s protection.

When the body has lived with stress, uncertainty, or overwhelm for long enough, it becomes very efficient at noticing threat, tension, and what could go wrong. And without meaning to, we can get stuck in those loops — replaying, predicting, bracing.

Glimmers gently interrupt that pattern.

They are not about forcing calm or “thinking positive.”
They are moments where your body naturally experiences safety — even briefly — and you let yourself notice it.

That noticing is powerful.

Each time you register a glimmer, you’re inviting a pendulation in the nervous system — a small movement away from activation and towards ease, then back again. Over time, this back-and-forth teaches the body that it doesn’t need to stay locked into threat. Safety becomes something the nervous system can access, not just hope for.

These moments might be quiet. Ordinary. Easy to miss.
But they’re how regulation is rebuilt — slowly, gently, through lived experience.

And when you reflect on your glimmers at the end of the day, you’re not analysing or fixing — you’re helping your nervous system integrate those moments of safety, so they land a little deeper.

Love always

Comment UNDERSTAND - to get my free video to gain deeper understanding of your internal world✨

If you resonate with functional freeze, nothing has gone wrong.

This state often develops in people who had to keep going long before their body felt ready.
Where slowing down wasn’t neutral — it carried consequences.
Where being capable, useful, calm, or “good” helped maintain connection or safety.

Over time, the nervous system learns a compromise:
stay productive enough to avoid threat, but numb enough to survive the cost.

That’s why functional freeze can feel so confusing.
There’s urgency without clarity.
Exhaustion without rest.
Movement without nourishment.

And underneath it all, there’s often a quiet belief that rest has to be earned — that worth comes from output, reliability, or not being a burden.

From a nervous system perspective, this isn’t a mindset issue.
It’s a body that hasn’t yet learned that stopping is safe now.

Healing doesn’t begin by forcing yourself to slow down.
That can actually increase threat.
It begins by restoring safety while you’re still moving —
through gentleness, permission, and regulated connection.

Functional freeze unwinds when the body starts to feel:
“I don’t have to prove my worth to be okay.”

If this spoke to you, meet it with compassion.
Your system adapted intelligently.
And with the right support, it can learn a new way.

Remember you’re never alone and help and support is out there. Please reach out ✨

Comment UNDERSTAND to gain a deeper knowledge of what’s going on in your nervous system and how to help it ✨

Perfection rarely comes from wanting to do well.
More often, it comes from wanting to feel safe.

For many of us, perfection was learned early.
When love, attention, approval, or emotional safety felt conditional, the nervous system adapted.
It learned that being good, getting it right, not making mistakes, and not being a burden were ways to stay connected.

So we push.
We try harder.
We override our bodies.
We keep going long after we’re tired, overwhelmed, or depleted.

Not because we’re driven —
but because somewhere deep inside, there’s a fear that rest will cost us something.

A fear of failure.
A fear of rejection.
A fear of being too much… or not enough.

When you grow up feeling that love or belonging can be withdrawn, your nervous system stays on high alert. It learns to perform, to please, to achieve — not for success, but for connection.

This is why perfection so often leads to burnout.
The body never gets the message that it’s allowed to stop.
That it’s safe to be human.
That it’s loved even when it’s messy, tired, or imperfect.

Healing isn’t about trying harder to let go of perfection.
It’s about helping the nervous system experience safety without performance.

Because you were never meant to earn your worth.
You were meant to rest inside it.

If you feel like this is you and you need some support please do reach out. You are not alone here and there are ways to support you and help.

✨ COMMENT UNDERSTAND ✨
to receive my free video guide on the nervous system and your inner world.

When trauma is triggered, you don’t act your age.
You act the age the wound was created.

This insight — originally shared by Gabor Maté — can be profoundly relieving when you truly feel what it means.

Because so many people carry shame around their reactions.
“Why am I like this?”
“I should be past this by now.”
“I know better — so why do I still react this way?”

But trauma isn’t stored as a story in the mind.
It’s stored as sensation, impulse, protection — in the body.

When your nervous system senses threat, the thinking brain goes offline.
The body steps in and responds from an earlier time —
a time when it learned how to survive without choice, language, or support.

That response isn’t immaturity.
It isn’t failure.
And it certainly isn’t weakness.

It’s intelligence.
It’s protection.
It’s a younger part of you doing exactly what it learned to do.

Healing, then, isn’t about forcing those parts to “grow up” or disappear.
It’s about creating space for them.
Meeting them with compassion.
And gently bringing your adult nervous system back online with safety and presence.

This is the heart of nervous system work:
less self-judgement,
more understanding,
and a body that slowly learns — I’m safe now.

If you’re ready to explore this more deeply and learn how to work with your nervous system (rather than against it), I’d love to support you.

At the moment, I work with people through my programmes and guided resources — all designed to help you understand your inner world, regulate your nervous system, and feel more at home in your body.

Comment HEALING for my free guided full-body relaxation ✨

Sleep doesn’t begin at bedtime — it begins with how safe your nervous system feels.

All day long, your body is responding to stimulation, stress, thinking, movement, noise. Even when you’re exhausted, your nervous system can still be running fast.

Slowing the body down before bed isn’t about forcing relaxation. It’s about helping your system discharge what it’s been holding, then gently guiding it into safety.

When we release excess energy first and then introduce soothing, rhythmic cues, the body can finally soften — and sleep can arrive more naturally.

These practices aren’t about doing more.
They’re about letting your nervous system know the day is complete.

With Love
Sarah xx
