Episode 64: RAW Regulation|Somatic Ownership: A 60-Second Tool to Pull the Projection Back

Listen Later

 

All week, we've been doing the mirror work. Today, Erica delivers the real-time somatic tool for the moment it counts — when the heat is rising and something in you wants to do something different. Somatic Ownership is a four-step 60-second pattern interrupt for working with projection in the body, in the moment.

Topics Covered:

  • Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's 90-second emotion rule and the role of narrative in extending activation
  • The four steps of Somatic Ownership: Stop the Speech, The Internal Pivot, The Somatic Anchor, The Re-Entry
  • How to speak from the feeling instead of the judgment
  • When and how to use this tool (including in low-stakes practice settings)

    • Research Referenced:

    • Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor — 90-second emotion rule
    • Dr. Stephen Porges — Polyvagal Theory / pathway back to ventral vagal

      • Key Quote: "This is my heat. I am responsible for this fire. Not self-blame — self-leadership."
