In this recent season of my body blowing up and things going haywire, I found my way to a nervous system retraining program after a friend said to me, "I recommend a fight/flight course." She, like all the specialists I was seeing at the time, picked up quickly on my stressful and anxiety-ridden perma-state.
I spent about six weeks inside the course learning about the nervous system, how it can become impaired, and its affect on the body. At that point, I learned about the daily practice and have been doing it for 30-60 minutes every day now for 30 days (goal is 9 months - whoa!) and it's already a game changer.
But the other thing that has opened up for me in going through this process is not just how the nervous system affects physical symptoms, but how it affects our BEHAVIORS - showing up in friendships, partnerships, our passions, purpose and even spirituality. As the days went on and I really began to integrate some of my other knowledge and strengths in this work (visualization, movement, spirituality), I truly started to see the waterfall of negative patterns and cycles all stemming from an initial subconscious belief (offten coupled with a trauma that doubles down on that belief).
So, what I offer you in this episode is a rundown of that waterfall in hopes that, if this is alive in you, you'll feel less alone and less like you're stuck, and hope for the future.
There are 8 Cyclical Phases to this waterfall - I've rudimentarily identified them if only to give some sort of structure to it all:
Fear
Forgetting
Cry for Help
Running in Circles
Idealization
Looping / Stagnation
Body
Freeze
Let's discuss what causes the waterfall, the details of each phase and provide some hope that there's more to life than living this day in and day out.
