10. My Somatic Experiencing Experience
This episode highlights my recent session with a somatic experiencing (SE) practitioner. I went there to explore some of my unfavourable responses to my recent breakup, especially feelings of helplessness that overwhelm my body when I think of him moving on.
I have done a fair amount of self-exploration to the point of knowing that I am harbouring some trauma, both direct, from the collective, and inter-generational. One of the ways it expresses itself is my "anxious attachment" style in romantic relationships (read Amir Levine's book "Attached"), and the ways in which I have gotten much of my self-worth through men in the past. Despite knowing these (and many other I explore in the podcast), my body still has very real negative responses/ coping mechanisms that self-sabotage me or overwhelm me emotionally in my life. And well, I am ready to let that shit go.
I am still having a hard time expressing what really happened during that 1 hour SE session, but I hope this informs you a bit, or at the very lease offers some entertainment.
It feels like SE has reset my nervous system, and I feel like I am actually operating from a parasympathetic dominant nervous system now. This is after spending most of my life with unknowing underlying low levels of self-preservation mode (fight or flight, sympathetic, etc).
I hope you enjoy the podcast !
