I forgot to mention…Michael Leach & I will be creating a cocktail at the beginning of each podcaster episode. So it’ll be like having a lovely bevy with your therapist & having a little chat about all things attachment!

…I can’t be the only one who’s dreamt of having a drink with my therapist.

PSA! Michael Leach & I are creating a conversational podcast on Attachment.

If you could sit with a psychologist & a therapist for free!!! and ask anything about …What would you want to know?!? (e.g. adulting, relationships, parenting, friendships etc)

Exploring trauma is all too often the first approach for some professionals. Or they spend just one or two sessions on safety, which is not enough for most people.
Preparing to work on trauma can take a long time! That doesn’t mean we are delaying healing - Focusing on safety, relationships, and co-regulation in the here and now can drastically reduce suffering and improve the quality of life for trauma survivors.

This is an easy way to reflect on what your nervous system is currently experiencing

I've been using a new illustration to demonstrate nervous system states. It's been going over really well with everyone I've shared it with, so I made a digital copy for you all.

Previous illustrations failed to show the low energy / low stress state. This state is often pathologized due to the fact that we aren't productive when we are low energy. This state is not actually a sign of illness or trauma, our society is just obsessed with productivity and tends to think needing to rest is a problem.

Being low energy sometimes is just part of being human. For those of us with chronic illnesses or long-term trauma responses, this low energy / low stress state is usually the most accessible version of the safe and social state.

Healing takes time and often happens over the course of different seasons in your life. Give yourself grace, it’s a process.
