When we work through the implicit patterns of the body we are addressing the deeper roots of healing in the nervous system.

An example of this could be a moment in session where we feel our legs moving and our arms feeling unsettled. We may notice this movement and move with it. We may feel a sense of freedom and a surge of energy and we move. We may then slow our movements down and feel the body settle. We may notice the ease that comes from getting away and having freedom to run.

We may also explore how we felt trapped in our home and could not escape the loud noises and fighting. The implicit response was to run and escape and find more freedom and agency with ourselves.

This change toward freedom in the nervous system came from following the quick movements that spontaneously showed up in the session and being curious enough to follow this reaction of the nervous system.

This noticing and pausing with implicit reactions allows for the unconscious patterns to be noticed with present awareness. This connection can help to regulate our stress response and can lead to more settling, grounding, resilience, and aliveness.

I would love to know if you can notice some of these responses in your own body. Can you take time to notice and observe this implicit pattern. Let us know what you observe in the comments. I will share something I noticed in my body today in the comments as well. Let’s create a community of noticing and sharing in the thread.

The reciprocation of connection reinforces a baseline experience of belonging and mattering. We naturally expand into connection looking to be seen, held, and supported. This reinforces a feeling that this expansion is safe.

Emotional wounds are a break in this reciprocation of love. We feel that expansion will lead to loss, rejection, or threat. This is because of the experiences of the past that are still held within the nervous system.

In healing emotional wounds we are repairing these beaks or wounds that occurred in the movement toward connection. We may observe how we contract, tense, turn away, or become vigilant as we speak about a relationship. We may feel the isolation and dysregulation that occurs as we protect. We may then observe a new pattern of opening up, looking toward a supportive person, or resourcing our own body and feelings to regulate.

Reciprocation may not have been present in our past but we can notice the felt sense of connection in the present. We may notice that we settle, our heart becomes warm, and our awareness drops toward our body. We are feeling the baseline sense of belonging and mattering.

Healing occurs when we are able to settle the protective response and live through the felt sense of connection with self and others.

Some of us grew up in unstable environments. As a response we may have had to prioritize others in order to create stability and balance.

Now it can helpful to visualize someone else taking care of others. Seeing our siblings in the garden with the Grandparents or watching our sister or brother being rocked by Grandma. Watch what happens in your nervous system when the whole world is not on your shoulders. Maybe you breathe, settle, feel more of your body, or notice space to let go or release.

It can be so helpful to visualize others stepping in to provide care and love. We might just feel as if we can finally be ourselves and be in relationship with ourselves.

Try this practice out and share your experience in the comments.

The nervous system is always working to integrate more fully into the present. The body seeks to engage with the present moment in order to support homeostasis and balance.

The freeze response can inhibit life energy and link the nervous system to past traumatic experiences. When we become locked in freeze, the nervous system is less able to orient to the present. Instead, it may recreate postures, emotions, sensations, memories, and thought patterns associated with the past.

By gently engaging with the body’s sympathetic activation, we can begin to process these stored somatic experiences. This can help integrate those sensations into the present moment and support movement through the body’s mobilized energy.

Instead of remaining stuck in freeze, we may begin to experience movement through emotions, sensations, and postures. This can bring a greater sense of aliveness and connection, rather than shutdown, powerlessness, or feeling stuck.

Working with the nervous system in the context of trauma involves reclaiming life energy and creating more space, flexibility, and possibility in life. In this way, we begin to reconnect with the natural rhythms of the nervous system—rhythms that may have been disrupted when living in a prolonged freeze state and managing overwhelming experiences.

My success in supporting clients through somatic experiencing is not based on reinforcing traumatic experience in the nervous system. Success in somatic experiencing is helping support the nervous system to move out of the bodies response in relation to trauma.

For example if I begin to feel clenched, small, powerless, and numb in session this would be an example of my nervous system repeating an old pattern of trauma. This might be felt and noticed in session. We might also notice that some of the bracing, clenching, and panic begins to subside and lighten. There might be a feeling of having more space and more freedom of expression. The throat lightens, shoulders loosen, and the head raises. This would be noticed and experienced in the session. We would observe the natural movement of the nervous system away from the clenching of the past and into more freedom and expansion.

Noticing how the nervous system can move out of the past experience of clenching and holding everything in and into more freedom and lightness.

Healing in not moving into traumatic patterns. Healing is actually the process of moving out of and away from trauma and feeling the sensations that are present when trauma is no longer influencing our experience of life.

It’s really important for us to understand what is healing and what reinforces trauma in the autonomic nervous system.

Healing comes from having more space to exist. This often comes from learning to be present for the stress response of the body. Instead of making our fear or anxiety wrong we can remember to create more space. We can remember to be present and exist in the moment.

The nervous system needs more space, more acceptance, and more permission to be felt and processed through our sensations.

Healing takes us into a larger space where we can be fully alive and expressive.

Next time you feel afraid or anxious give your stress response space to exist in this moment.

Here are three simple ways that I support my nervous system when I feel shame. First, I bring a hand to my body. Shame creates a pattern of isolation and separation. We are feeling the somatic experience of rejection. A hand on my chest helps me to find support and connection. I feel the pressure of my hand and the energy underneath it.

The second thing I do is orient toward the present. I bring awareness to my body and remind myself to stay present for myself. I don’t try to fix myself or change anything about myself. Fixing takes me into my head and causes the production of more stress hormones.
Acceptance for how I am in the moment leads to emotional attunement and more focus on self-awareness.

The third thing I do is notice the feelings of connection to myself, I notice the settling, grounding, and ease in my body. This is a sign that my parasympathetic nervous system is engaged and that my body is moving out of the fight-or-flight response.
Through this approach, I reinforce connection and self-acceptance and regulate through shame.

Emotions should be seen as the wisdom of our body to express our needs. For example we cry to elicit care and connection, we get angry to protect ourselves from harm, and we feel freighted in order to react to something that is threatening.

When we follow the sensations of emotions we are connecting with the intelligent way that our body expresses its needs. We can follow the tears in our eyes, the tightening of our chest, or the clenching of our fists. By following emotions we are providing care, attention, and time for emotions to express. We are treating emotions as a vital part of our health and wellbeing. Sometimes we view emotions as a source of threat or danger rather than a form of wisdom and intelligence.

Follow the sensations of your emotions and focus on the way that your emotions are felt in your body. This will help you to regulate your emotional energy and will lead to more ease and safety with your emotions. Emotions need consistent attention and awareness in order for us to create a baseline of ease and rest and digest.

Perfectionism creates pressure to survive and exist. We live through a restriction in our chest, tightness in our throat, elevation in heart rate, and a sense of numbness or disconnection from emotions.

We can reinforce the opposite of perfection in the nervous system. We can openly express ourselves, we can rely on others, we can observe more flow and less restriction in the nervous system.

We may then feel more ease, warmth through the heart, lightness through the face, and feeling more fluidity and circulation through the muscles.

When we let go of perfection there is more permission to exist as we are. We also find more ease and settling within our body. Reinforcing the felt sense of safety rather than threat, pressure, and demand.

There is a link being perfectionism and vigilance and shock. The need to stay on and alert in order to maintain safety.

This often has its roots in unpredictable environments. This creates so much pressure, weight, demand, and overwhelm in the nervous system.

New patterns of being supported, loved, held, and valued support the opposite of perfection. We feel more settled, warmth, opening, and softening through connection.

When you feel perfectionism become curious about your feelings. Maybe there is a possibility of not having to do everything yourself or put all the pressure on yourself. Maybe this moment can offer a pause and a deep breath. A moment to let it go rather than hold it all in.

Let’s work on opening up to more support and sharing life with others.

Enjoy letting go of your perfection.

What really supports regulation of the nervous system is co regulation. It’s when someone is present with us and offers a space for our emotions and sensations to be felt and processed.

We may hold onto a lot of emotional energy that we have had to manage on our own. In order to manage emotion we may have had to rely on our thoughts to push away sensations. We may overthink, shame ourselves, stay mentally busy, or rely on our intellect to avoid vulnerability.

Even though we suppress through our thoughts our emotions still need co regulation and support. We long for peace, for resolution, for healthy relationships, and for validation. We know that emotional connection will bring regulation to the nervous system.

One way to start building relationship with our own emotions is to bring attention down to the body. We can place a hand on our chest and abdomen. We can feel the support of our hands as we hold the sensation of our emotions.

Through this practice we are embracing emotion and not rushing to our head to fix or change our feelings. Over time this leads to being more open to receive support and connection from ourselves and others. We may be opening up a door to emotional regulation which helps us feel safety and security.

Hold your emotions in your body so you don’t rush to fix them through your thoughts.

In moments of anxiety, fear, and overwhelm we often devote energy toward fixing or trying to force ourselves to be different. This connects the nervous with feelings of weight, pressure, quickness, and shame.

We don’t always work on acceptance of our feelings. Being able to place a hand on our chest and say to ourselves, “ this moment feels so big and difficult. I don’t need to change, fix, or make anything better.”

I think the relief comes from touching in to a deeper more core part of ourselves. The part of ourselves that needs to belong and be held during difficult times. Instead of always needing to fix something or portray an image we can actually work on being with ourselves. We can notice our sensations and follow how the nervous system is processing the present moment. Noticing our posture, emotions, sensations, changes in heart rate, and the rhythm of our breathing pattern.

Often times through awareness and acceptance we start to slow down and we feel more grounded and connected.

Next time you feel overwhelmed try this little intervention. Notice what happens through acceptance and awareness.
