A huge part of healing is getting to know your own nervous system

• What it needs moment to moment

• How it responds to certain environments

• How to move in daily life in creative, flexible and peaceful ways…

When the allostatic load (the amount of accumulated stress in your system + long term adaptive responses to it) is high you will be over reactive to people, to sensory input and to life in general.

Doing somatic courses and somatic practices all day long does not heal your nervous system. In fact, in most cases, it will add to the allostatic load, creating more problems.

Do you know what adds to your allostatic load?
Do you know how to identify when things are too much for your system?
Do you know how to decrease your allostatic load?

This is part of the work I do with my clients.
There is no precise formula, because your system is unique.
But the knowledge and wisdom you gather in this journey you will carry with you for the rest of your life!

Once you embody this work, self compassion becomes easier and life becomes more effortless.
