Faulty neuroception has you missing your body’s somatic cues #nervoussystemregulation

Anxiety isn’t bad. It’s communication. It’s your brain and body saying, “Hey! I detect a threat!” This threat can be very real or imagined, either way your body is listening and alerting you to any potential threats.

This very intelligent messaging system and threat assessment radar between your body and your brain can sometimes get lost in translation.

Literally.

😟 You interpret unsafe people as safe

😣 and safe people as dangerous.

How does this happen?

It may be a byproduct of a childhood or significant adult relationship where you had to rely on an unsafe person to get your needs met and to survive.

👉🏾 Coined by Stephen Porges, NEUROCEPTION describes the ongoing process of evaluating information coming in from our senses to determine what’s happening in our bodies and whether or not a situation is safe, threatening, or dangerous.

Neuroception takes place in the primitive parts of the brain, beyond our conscious awareness. It’s affected by our relationships, life experiences, mood, and exposure to substances.

⚠️ WHAT MAKES IT WORSE:
• Codependency, dissociation, self-disconnection
• Any tendency to leave one own’s body, distrust one’s senses, and doubt what you feel, sense, or know
• Trauma bonded relationships (a trauma bond is not love. Chemically, it operates like an addiction, leaving you in inner turmoil and ungrounded)
• Numbing behaviors and substances
• People-pleasing, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation

🤯 BIG AHA: When we’ve been trained to self-abandon, it’s natural to perceive yourself as the cause of every problem. When you couple faulty neuroception with self-blaming behavior and thoughts, you can get lost in the idea that you’re the problem and not the environment.

✅ WHAT MAKES IT BETTER:
• Any practice that invites you to come back to yourself (meditation, yoga, mindfulness, mindful movement, somatic healing, conscious intimacy)
• Sensing, intentionally. Slowly. Deliberately.

RESOURCES ❤️

1) I help adults reconnect with themselves in a variety of ways. I recommend starting with my Feelings Chart download, to help you identify and name how you feel. This is especially helpful for those who tend to not know how they feel or get lost overthinking and ruminating. It gives a clear name for the discomfort and additional reflection questions are included to help you feel and assess what’s coming up in a grounded way.

2) I’ve created a mini vagus nerve protocol for you ❤️ The vagus nerve is responsible for sending those neuroceptive signals between the body and brain. By improving your vagal tone, you’re able to come out of heightened states of stress, hypervigilance, and/or shutdown, which are causing you to misread threat and safety cues, overthink others, and miss some entirely.

You can get both my 3 Free Vagal-Pleasure Practices (mini vagus nerve protocol) AND the Feelings Chart, by signing up using the links in my profile.

I’ll send all 4, if you sign up for the Feelings Chart. 🤗

BE KIND TO YOURSELF
Remember, this is an automatic function of your autonomic nervous system. Please don’t shame yourself if you missed these signs and found yourself in a harmful relationship. Remember, you don’t have conscious control of your autonomic nervous system and if you’re a victim of abusive or chaotic systems, you were likely trained to ignore your body and put your trust in your abuser.

So please refrain from shaming yourself (especially when others who have not had to deal with what you have try to).

3) If you’d like to go deeper into healing your nervous system from these relationships, I have a LIVE 7-Week Vagal-Pleasure Reset Program ✨ Soften & Replenish ✨ where we’ll be softening out of overwhelm & dysregulation and restoring your vital energy and joy for life.

You’ll receive weekly vagus nerve protocols and access to live vagal-pleasure practices to help you heal ❤️ See the link in my profile to learn more 🌞 SUMMER REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN 🌞

Thanks for reading ❤️
