Shame's 5 Secret Conversations:

Self-Doubt: "I'm different, weird."

Worry: "What if I fail?"

Blame: "It's my fault, someone's to blame."

Rejection: "I'm alone, no one cares."

#Shame is a complex emotion, but we can confront it and transform it into a powerful ally.
You are a nice person.
You never get mad.

Your body does.

Withholding is A response to feeling #shame.

Anything to avoid the emotion.

Traditional talk therapy requires a “calm brain” because the purpose is introspection.

No one goes to therapy with a calm brain.

#Anxiety requires an understanding of physiology which is why somatic experiencing is effective.

The body is in control when you feel fear.

😞 Living on others’ terms means losing touch with who you truly are. The energy you spend on maintaining a false identity could be used to pursue your passions and goals.

Who are you behind all the introjects and identifications?

We all experience rejection, betrayal and/or abandonment.

It’s how you process emotions which leads you to radiant freedom or addiction.

"Healing Developmental Trauma provides clear guidance to help us hold, with knowledge and self-compassion, those seemingly irreconcilable opposites and is a vital and accessible map
supporting emotional maturity and psycho-spiritual growth."

Hug someone you love hold it 20-30 seconds.

It takes at least 20 seconds for oxytocin to release. Feel it!

you are living in the past,
If you are anxious,
you are living in the future,
If you are at peace,
you are living in the present".

Are you able to sit (by yourself quietly) for 5 minutes without any distractions?

There is a difference between being alone and loneliness.

How are you kind to kind to yourself?

You are like a tuning fork.

What are you in resonance with?

Perfectionism can create a contraction in the body which communicates “I have to get this right, or it will cost me everything.

Early reflexes don't show up in adults UNLESS they've been interrupted.

A Somatic Practitioner working with developmental "trauma" will recognize these truncated responses and help integrate them.

Their completion (success) allows for healing.

😔 Shutting down, hiding, and isolating—these are coping mechanisms tied to the fawn response. They stem from a fear of rejection or punishment for being your true self.
