Feeling overloaded?

Just a reminder to ask yourself...

Is this expectation realistic?
Is it necessary?
Does it have to be me?
Does it have to be now?

And... breathe...

Give yourself the best free gift 🎁

Give yourself the permission to acknowledge your feelings. That is to allow how you are feeling, emotionally/energetically/physically, without judging or changing.

The impact of this check-in, done regularly, is huge! It allows our feelings to process, that is: to resolve and move on. It also builds presence, self awareness, self trust and gives us the chance to adjust ourselves or our surroundings if needed.

The opposite of acknowledgement is avoidance. This type of repression can lead to self betrayal, dysregulation and illness.

Acknowledgement is free and fast, it just requires us to be intentional.

How good are you at giving yourself this gift?

Healing is an evolutionary process - Moving from judging ourselves to being compassionate and curious.

As Gabor Maté says: Trauma is a wound that hasn't healed.

The process of healing requires us to really acknowledge what our body, heart & systems are feeling... and to be patient.

Too often, people deal with their pain and triggers by avoiding the reality; whether through intellectualising, distracting or by-passing.

If you are coaching curious, book a free consultation to chat with me. Link in bio.

Healing starts with honouring.

Acknowledging and giving space to our somatic systems is where the magic lies. Allowing, without judgement, the sensations in our body is how we resolve stuck emotion and trauma.

Adding the protocol means that our body can re-experience what was previously overwhelming in a safe way. This is how we re-learn.

The consolidation of this somatic work reduces the impact of triggers and builds self trust.

If you are curious and keen to know more, book a free consultation with me to chat about it.

A testimonial for my Overwhelm & The Nervous System' masterclass from an esteemed Coach feels extra validating.

"I’ve just watched Cara’s online masterclass about overwhelm, the nervous system and practical steps to manage your energy and it’s just brilliant!
These are big subjects, but Cara gently and clearly unpacked them and explains what’s going on in our minds and bodies. I loved the structure of the class and really appreciated knowing that being deregulated (overwhelmed) is totally normal and that it's about what we choose to do when that happens because that makes all the difference.
The real cherry on the cake was the 5 practical techniques to manage overwhelm. Thanks, Cara. I’m really glad I watched this!" - Mica Allen

The pitfalls of being solution focused!

Are you sometimes missing the necessary step of validation? We can exacerbate our stress or dysregulation by ignoring our feelings and jumping straight to problem solving.

Likewise, we can reject the help of others if they skip the acknowledgement of our upset/frustration before suggesting a solution.

Simply naming the feelings allows validation, aids regulation, and gives us more access to our creative, connected problem solving brain function.

Feedback on this course - "I thought it was wonderful. You are so calm and clear, and the pace/pitch was great. It flowed really well, kept my attention and I liked the structure with introduction, the slides, the exercises etc and the checking in. A nice balance of info and also things to do.
I think the examples were lovely, I really liked when you talked about the day, imagining waking up dysregulated (or not) and how accumulative it is gathering through the day. That made a lot of sense. I also loved the be like a dog bit. Hadn't thought about dog stretches and shakes like that before!
I think the course is really informative and interesting. The demonstration of regulation techniques was fab, and I did the butterfly hug! It was interesting you saying to regulate throughout the day at transition periods. I hadn't thought of doing that before." - Sally O'Brien
