On resonance and recoil

True nervous system regulation is NOT about stress management hacks or top-down prescriptive regulation exercises.  True regulation is about living your life at a pace that is doable and digestible in the moment. Living your life at YOUR resonant frequency. ...

On true nervous system regulation

What is true nervous system regulation?  True nervous system regulation is NOT about stress management hacks or top-down prescriptive regulation exercises. And definitely not about doing MORE of it. Regulation is about living your life at a pace that is doable...

On Freeze

The most hidden and well protected lands of your Bodyverse.    Freeze is the most over-looked and mis-understood threat response.  Freeze is the default threat response in all women and babies (which means, all humans).  Freeze! Not Fight or...

On Flight

Do you want to guess how my own exploration of the Flight response started?  Correct.  It started with “I don’t think I have any Flight… This is not something I do”… But guess what?  I am the walking embodiment of Flight.  I’ve been even fleeing...

On Fight

The HYPER-lands of the Bodyverse where it’s hot, fast, and intense.  And more specifically, the Fight response.  Before you continue reading, maybe find some stabilisation, a resource, a layer of support that you can orient to?  Maybe put on your...

We need a new paradigm of healing…

My whole pre-Bodyverse life I was asking myself these questions:  “What’s wrong with me?”“Why can’t I just be normal as everyone else?“ “Why can’t I just try hard enough and heal my symptoms, and just be done with them already?” And then later on, when I started...

Why “feel it to heal it” ain’t gonna cut it…

You’ve heard this phrase before: “Feel it to heal it“, right? I’ve been feeling it but NOT healing it for a very long time…  And I know MANY other humans stuck in the same loop. The loop of “What’s wrong with me?“ - why it seems to work for everyone else but not me?...

Why movement is non-negotiable

A couple of days ago, in a workshop I was teaching about Freeze response, someone asked me this brilliant question: “What is your opinion on movement in this context of trauma work“? My answer was: It is non-negotiable.  Life happens in motion. The way you...
