@sittingwithlauren: Trying to force or "hack" our nervous system into relaxation can have the opposite effect - it can make us feel even more anxious and tight. For parts of us, relaxing might feel unsafe, and they want to protect us. We can start by getting curious with that protection. If the you’re curious about this approach, I’d invite you to explore my somatic parts work courses: For clients: Befriending What Feels Stuck - It's a gentle introduction to understanding your protective patterns through parts work, the body, and nervous system — with teachings and experiential practices to help you actually explore this in your own system. For clinicians: Moving From Insight to Integration - A practical, embodied approach to bringing somatic awareness, parts work, nervous-system understanding, and the therapeutic relationship together.
