Adult to child/teen co-regulation.

Often we try to "think" ourselves through trauma, emotional distress and pain. The way through is via the body. A bottom up approach. First step is to tolerate being present within the body, feeling safe, secondly, to challenge negative core beliefs, process feelings and then integrate the new corrective experience with cognitive understanding. Moving the body in nature, activating the nervous system, yet staying within your Window of tolerance is a great way to build nervous system resiliency and integration.

Dissociation is an extreme protector. It needs to be acknowledged for it's role in helping you survive at the time of overwhelm. Now, the healing way forward is to nurture inner integration at a pace that is right for you. To grow in trusting the Self to take care of the whole (all inner parts).
