Or the opposite—the collapse and desire to quit before you even begin, because the climb feels too overwhelming to try. And in those moments, two very different voices often show up inside: One says, “Just push...
In the past week, a few of my clients shared similar experiences with me. During our somatic and/or vagal practices together, each of them felt intense emotions or physical sensations come up. They leaned toward the practice… then backed off. Then leaned in again… then pulled back. Some wondered if they were “doing it wrong.” Others felt a little afraid of what was surfacing. A few thought it was just plain weird. The truth? This is part of the healing journey. What they were doing is...
Have you ever found yourself pulling away from everyone, needing someone by your side at all times, or feeling misunderstood and alone surrounded by people? Maybe you’ve canceled plans (again) and felt relief and shame… Or you’ve stayed on the phone too long or gone to another event you didn’t want to attend, just so you wouldn’t feel that anxious aloneness.
