@dressingforthedopamine: I’ve spent years at the intersection of trauma healing, neuroscience, personal style, and the systemic forces that work (deliberately and relentlessly) to keep us disconnected from ourselves, from our bodies, and from the simple radical act of getting dressed in a way that actually feels like us. Neuroscience tells us, your nervous system is paying attention to what you put on your body everyday. It reads your clothing as context. It shifts your psychological state based on what you wear and what you believe it means. This is peer reviewed science. Enclothed cognition is real and the implications are significant. Which means the systems that have spent centuries controlling what women, marginalized bodies, anyone outside the narrow definition of acceptable is allowed to wear — they were always doing nervous system work. They just didn’t call it that. Patriarchy has a dress code. White supremacy has a dress code. Ableism and fatphobia and capitalism all have dress codes. And those dress codes aren’t arbitrary. They are specifically, intentionally designed to keep you disconnected from your own body, your own joy, your sense of what feels like you — because a person who is fully inhabiting themselves is significantly harder to control. Dressing for the Dopamine is my daily practice of refusing that. The consistent nervous-system-level work of coming back to yourself one outfit at a time. These are the hills where you can find me. because what you wear is more powerful than you think ✨ #dressingforthedopamine #enclothedcognition #bodyliberation #selfexpressionisresistance #womensupportingwomen
