For a long time, I thought my problem was overthinking or being too sensitive.
I realized that it might not be a problem at all…
but simply a combination of:
- the way my brain works and my heightened sensitivity to the world through my perceptions
- a nervous system that had learned to remain constantly alert
Last week, I trained in the Somatics & Trauma-Informed approach.
Initially, I did it out of professional curiosity…
🦋 but very quickly, it resonated with me on a much more personal level.
This training helped me understand something essential: many of our reactions are not “problems to be fixed.”
➡️ They are intelligent responses from the nervous system.
When we’ve experienced a lot of pressure, stress, over-adaptation, or over-control, the body simply learns to function as best it can, staying in what it knows, because it feels safe (even if it’s ultimately not in our best interest ~aka eating a whole bar of chocolate every night 😂 or much more deep and harmful behaviour that I am sure most of us knows 😳~).
And we can spend years trying to “manage better,” when in reality, the body primarily needs security, slowness, and being listened to. 😮💨
This approach has profoundly transformed my understanding of the body, fatigue, stress… and also my approach to supporting others.
I am so grateful for all my teachers for their knowledge, sharing, wisdom, support, inspiration and guidance, and all I cannnot write here which is beyond words.
Grateful as well to all my sisters (and brothers -even if only 2 of them-😎) that we all have been through this journey together, witnessing and recognising the process of each one 🙏 well done everyone ✨
All this content greatly nourish what I’m currently developing for the future.
A project focused on the nervous system, slowing down, and a more sustainable life.
I’ll tell you more about it as soon as this little project has run its course 🪺🌿
