A key component of working with shame is honesty. Being honest about how others impacted us and how this shaped how we reach out and engage with life. Honesty opens up a path where we can connect again. Sharing our truth and having others present with us.

Shame revolves around taking on fault or responsibility. Holding things inside and avoiding connection. When we are honest we can push back and acknowledge that others may have caused our hurt or pain. We do not have to carry the world on our shoulders and hold everything inside.

Honesty creates space where shame restricts and contracts the nervous system.

When we are honest we create courage, strength, power, and peace in our system.

Let’s move toward the energy of honesty and see how our shame softens, eases, and lets go.

Regulation comes from connection. These five approaches reestablish connection with the body and help the nervous system return to the baseline of the parasympathetic.

In stress we have to have ways to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. For example we can make a voo sound to stimulate the parasympathetic through vibration. Another example could be slowing down to find a slower rhythm or pace. The parasympathetic is responsible for slowing us down and creating a braking response to the fight or flight that speeds us up.

We need these little interventions to brake the cycles of stress and activation. If we do not have these tools the nervous system will stay locked in fight, flight, and freeze.

So many of us just get through the day and keep going despite all of the fear, stress, and uncertainty. These tools can give you simple practices to help you find freedom from the compounding stress and bracing through life. These approaches are essential for stimulating the part of the nervous system that helps you find more ease and connection in your body. Life is meant to be lived through a baseline of regulation rather than through constant states of fear, panic, and pushing through.

I am always curious as to how fight, flight, and freeze may actually be connected to security and safety. Maybe hands that feel nervous and anxious may be reaching to grab ahold of someone who feels safe and present. Or a feeling of pulling away into isolation may also be needing someone to move toward us for connection.

I think connection is what repairs the autonomic nervous system. In moments where we feel frightened and overwhelmed we can work on connection.

We can notice anxiety and express this feeling through the body. Then we may be able to find a more secure form of this pattern. We could slow down the movement of the hands and then place them on our body. Next time we feel anxious we could acknowledge these feelings and then move toward a more secure form of expression. This helps us to meet the patterns of fight, flight, and freeze while introducing a slower rhythm to the nervous system.

Try this practice out and let me know how it goes in the comments.

I try to walk this middle path. Knowing that my goal is to notice both states of activation and states of ease and safety.

Our goal in working with the nervous system is to follow and track the present state of the nervous system with out judgment, fixing, or expectations. I may notice threat and it stays activated and painful. I may also become triggered and then my body settles through my awareness and attention.

I know that the awareness and presence is the real goal for regulation.

Try to work on being present with your nervous system in times of ease and times of stress. Try to let go of fixing and judging your experience. Notice the highs and lows and allow your awareness to be the force that brings stability, consistency, and security to your system. Walk a middle path of presence for both positive and negative energy in life.

Trauma puts the nervous system into a place of rigidity and separation. Fear is a contraction of the nervous system that creates rigidity and bracing.

Because of trauma the nervous system may move in the direction of fear and freeze when we feel overwhelmed or stressed. My kids may be yelling and playing and my neck stiffens and I look away. My feeling of anxiety and stress are moving toward disconnection and rigidity.

In these moments what if I knew how to help myself out of freeze. I could slowly begin to engage with my eyes to look around my environment, I could remember to move my hands and reach out to touch my kids, or I could place my feet on the ground to anchor my body.

In freeze there is a complete loss of resourcing. Our physiology is pulled away from connection. By slowly reengaging with our environment we lift the nervous system out of freeze. We slowly bring movement, connection, and space back to the nervous system.

If you feel afraid try these little practices of resourcing. Sometimes these really simple approaches can make a huge difference on how we relate to life.

We do not always realize that shame suppresses parts of ourselves that are essential for being fully alive. Shame contacts around what we perceive will be rejected. Shame holds the emotional memories of past rejection and loss of connection.

Shame may suppress the vocalization of our emotions. The throat may tighten and restrict when we try to share and speak up. Another example could be the suppression of sensitivity. I may perceive that men do not like to be vulnerable. When I feel emotional I may brace through my chest and abdomen. My autonomic nervous system reacts through fight, flight, and freeze in relation to my self expression.

Repair often relates to having a deeper connection with our body and sensations. Noticing an emotional response in the body or noticing the desire to speak through our throat. Tracking sensation gives these responses a place in our body and nervous system. Through noticing sensations we invite these feelings inside where they can be noticed and felt. Instead of pushing them to the side we can invite them in.

I can allow my voice, my emotions, my needs, and my bigness to exist in the moment. I can notice that acceptance can come from myself and how I relate to my body.

If you are curious about shame and the process of acceptance and repair comment with the word REPAIR. I will message you with more information on my upcoming online program.

We ruminate because we have not been able to protect ourselves. When we ruminate we focus on those external factors and the nervous system mobilizes energy toward the situation.

When this happens I like to push with my hands to create a boundary. I will then bring my attention to my chest and move my attention to myself.

A lot of times my thoughts will calm because I have space to notice my own body. This gives me time to process my stress response. It also gives me time to focus on my own feelings and sensations.

We walk around ruminating because we have never had a boundary. People and situations are able to impact us and take up so much room in our thoughts, emotions, and body.

The nervous system needs separation and distance from what feels harmful and impactful.

Remember this approach. Push out with your hands. Create separation and then bring your hands to your chest. Notice your sensations and reclaim your own feelings and emotions.

It can be helpful to give yourself permission to move past the person or situation that you felt stuck in when you were ruminating.

Next time you are stuck thinking and reacting to an external situation push out with your hands and create a healthy boundary.

Trauma is an impact to the nervous system. This impact creates a reaction that overwhelms and floods the nervous system.

I sometimes wonder why we think we can feel traumatic energy and talk about past events without having safety present. Why would exposing ourselves to past trauma lead to healing and recovery.

Healing is the opposite of this exposure. Healing comes from having a solid foundation of regulation that can hold and contain the bodies stress response. For example noticing our feet contacting the earth, feeling a solid safe connection with our therapist, and noticing a settled sensation in the body. These responses develop a felt sense of stability and connection for the nervous system.

From a sense of stability we can feel and contain really big and challenging sensations. These sensations don’t completely overwhelm us and flood the nervous system if we have solid banks to resource.

Let’s create a solid foundation to address the old impacts that overwhelmed us. Let’s create the solid banks that can hold and contain the activated and disconnected patterns of the nervous system.

This is an example of how we would combine meaning with observation of the body and nervous system. Noticing the response of pushing along with the sense of power that can be brought into words.

This approach can bring so much clarity, relief, and confidence back to the nervous system.

A lot of times we are continuously guided into our trauma response. We talk about the trauma with out ever being taught how to move out and regulate.

In somatic experiencing we often look at what would be a counter movement to trauma. Can we support the nervous system to move toward something that would be healthier and more subtle.

This might look like bringing the hands out when they are clenched or looking at the environment to find color and positive engagement. A lot of times this slows the body down and lightens the clients experience. Instead of everything feeling harsh, threatening, and judgmental it brings more ease and warmth.

In so many instances in the past we needed someone to connect with us and stay present with us. The counter movement represents this movement toward connection and co regulation.

It can give us so much hope in knowing that we do not have to stay in a negative cycle. We can create a counter movement that brings safety to the nervous system.

If you would like to learn more about this work, comment with the word repair and I will send you more information about my upcoming program on repairing shame.
