Calm no longer feeling safe

I have observed over the last few years that when a person has been in a hyper or hypo aroused state for a long period of time, to allow the body to be in a calmer state feels very different (the individuals have also said different not nessisarily nice).

Now different isn't comfortable different is questioning if this should be the new normal. So exploring just feeling the sensation of calm for 1-2 minutes or even seconds, then allowing them to re stimulate, allows the person to start to grow into calm rather than just be calm.

Over time calm will not longer feel different instead feel ok, and as they progress it moves from ok, to them then seeking calm.

Acceptance
Finding acceptance in the place your are at but making a road map to where you want to be.
We are asked to look at the whole horse in horsemanship not just the good and not just the problems. Then deciding which parts we want to keep, which parts we want to grow bigger and which parts we want to out grow.
If only we could have the same approach to humans and their journey as it can be beautiful when helping a brain grow and develop but you have to see the whole person in front of you 😊

Well that is it for 2025 courses in the UK and we received some lovely feedback from the group, and some new seeds of ideas to nurture over the winter months ready to share in the spring.

Here's what the group had to say about their 4 days:

'I not only gained knowledge and materials to apply to my work but I have opened a door to finding myself'
'Naomi, Buzz, Edith & Scrumpy were amazing. A truly inspirational 4 days, when is the next one'
'Wow what an amazing four days, not only have I learnt lots of new knowledge and skills. I've learnt a lot about myself, what a journey!'
'Lovely group of people, excellent tutor, its given me a sense of excitement to take the next steps'
'I felt supported and guided throughout, really pleased to have attended'
'An incredibly ran course with all the knowledge we need to kick start something special'
