The body keeps score.

I wish I'd discovered your account 10 years ago

I’m really grateful you’re here

Truth. Even if you were taught to push things down, your body remembers. Fortunately you can also learn to set yourself free. Breathe Notice what's happening Give yourself the care you didn't get then

You made a short film about my life.

cool story, now how do we heal this? or move past it? I know what it is and why --- but i don't know how to make it better. thx

I relate to most of these examples- I’m reading the book now

every. single. one. of. these.

I had a lot of these responses. They were most acute when I was in the thick of toxic relationships. I had to try to self-soothe when the other person was just bombarding with their misery, anger & criticisms. They were really good at making things worse but had no ability to make it better. That wrongfully fully fell onto my shoulders.

Your body does keep score. Every jitter & jump. It’s the startle response. You will not out wit your body. Learn it’s language and settle that startle. Free download link in my bio ✨👆🏼

Great visual examples! It is interesting indeed how the nervous system (the body) retains the muscle & neural memories of all lived experiences from birth forward. Yet, as a child's body grows, the extensive neural pruning process of a child's & young adult's brain clears fact based linear memories & rewires new neural connections. In this way, one doesn't retain linear 'event memory. However, the body 'remembers' everything and is, as an instrument, strung upon a unique tension, unique wavelengths, and it dances to a unique rhythm of epistemic fear or epistemic trust tuned by those body memories.
