Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears.

My guest today, Jan Winhall of Focusing on Borden, began her career as social worker and psychotherapist 40 years ago.
[CW for text below: mention of self-harming behaviors]
She began listening with non-pathologizing ears and heard shocking stories of sexual torture, and responses that confused her. Women were cutting themselves, bingeing and purging huge quantities of food, and abusing drugs and alcohol.
As she continued to listen she learned that somehow these self-harming behaviors were “helping” individuals to escape intolerable emotional states. They were shifting their mood from flooding anxiety to numbing deadness, or vice versa.
Because these behaviors were so helpful they were compulsively repeated and often became addictions. They were shifting their mood from flooding anxiety to numbing deadness, or vice versa.
Jan’s book Treating Trauma and Addiction with The Felt Sense Polyvagal Model: A Bottom Up Approach, has integrated the Polyvagal lens Theory to create a more sophisticated way of understanding emotional regulation, where addictive behavior is an embodied response to emotional dysregulation.
