Being able to access states of physiological and r

Being able to access states of physiological and relational safety is foundational to our work in therapy. The content of our mind is a narrative directed by the state of our nervous system. When we can shift our nervous system from alarm and restriction towards safety and ease, our thought patterns start to follow. The best way to get out of your head is to get into your body - so much of how we navigate life keeps us in a chronic state of disconnect and without access to the wisdom our physiology holds. Bring your awareness to how you are moving through life within your body. How do you exist in that skin suit? How does the way you hold yourself affect the messages your mind is receiving? How do you allow your body to move at different times of the day? How you move through the morning/day/week will dictate how you are moving through life. Instead of slowing down thoughts, try slowing down your body and breath. Notice the different ways of engaging your body appreciates and when it feels constricted or resistant. How are you moving right now? What sensations are you experiencing? What messages is your body conveying and how are you listening and responding to these? The body constantly communicates with the mind and the way we tend and respond to physiology influences how our mind makes sense of what it is arising internally. Our body serves as the vessel for our emotional energy and needs us to provide regular outlets for expression and signals of ease to avoid overwhelm or blockages creating inflammation, pain and dis-ease. #melbournepsychologist #EMDR #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #emotionregulation #permissiontofeel #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody

Life regulation, or homeostasis, relies on our cap

Life regulation, or homeostasis, relies on our capacity to connect with the internal signals of our body and make micro-adjustments to maintain balance. It is a dynamic concept requiring us to check inward and make the necessary shifts to maintain healthy functioning. If our prior experience means we learnt to shut off messages from our physiology (perhaps if they were too much to bear, or the kind of support or resources we needed at the time was not available) then we risk of missing the cues and overwhelming the capacity of our internal system. Restoring a sense of safety in the body - letting the full spectrum of human emotions know they can be safely contained and expressed - means building our capacity to recognise, understand and express our emotions and regulating our responses to life. Constant micro-adjustments without avoidance, shame or dismissing builds this capacity. #melbournepsychologist #EMDR #adaptiveinformationprocessing #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #emotionregulation #permissiontofeel #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #therapy #nobadparts #selfleadership

Some of the most important relationships we have are the ones we nurture with different parts of ourselves so we can show up whole. #melbournepsychologist #EMDR #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #emotionregulation #permissiontofeel #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #brainhealth #traumainformed #emdrtherapist #mindbody #therapy #nobadparts #selfleadership

Every breath we take has a start and an end, a rising up and a letting go. This cycle is reflected in all elements of life. The wave that swells and breaks, the flower that blooms and withers, the trees that bud and shed. With life’s passing seasons we might experience both the birth of a dream and the pain of letting go. There is comfort and bittersweet in this natural pattern. Birth and death, light and dark, growth and decay are intrinsically paired. When we realise all humans experience loss and suffering, we can turn towards each other and slowly transform our collective pain as we move through these cycles with love and connection. Whatever you are letting go with 2023 may it see you beginning 2024 with sufficient breathing space to regenerate and reconnect. #belonging #emotionalhealth #EMDR #breathwork #thebodykeepsthescore #attachment #traumainformed #melbournepsychologist
