I attended the webinar: Why Trauma Lives in the Body - and How to Get Out of Survival Mode with Gabor Maté yesterday, where he addressed: - Why trauma can stay active long after the event - How your reactions continue… even when things seem safe - Why you can’t simply “move on” - How disconnection from yourself shapes anxiety, tension, and shutdown He shared two practical exercises to reconnect and begin creating inner safety, and as a token of my gratitude for this community, I wanted to share them with you! Part 1 ☀️ Where, if anywhere, is there tightness or numbness in my body? ☀️ If that tension or numbness could speak, what would it say? ☀️ If this tension or numbness were gone, what would be there instead? Part 2 ☀️ What emotion or feeling do I feel right now, and where do I feel them in my body? ☀️ What is the story behind that emotion or feeling? ☀️ Is this emotion or feeling, the story, in the now, or is it in the past? ☀️ What is the need that emotion or feeling expresses? ☀️ What happens if I let that emotion or feeling be and accept it? ☀️ What small actions of kindness and compassion can I give myself right now to make me feel safe? Stay Blessed ☀️sisters
