Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Listener question: is there a risk of turning off the alarm?


Listen Later

Listener question: what slightly confuses me is this ...

i see that our nervous system is the thing that tells us we are in or out of capacity right - and so if it is constantly in freeze then its tell me i'm out of capacity somehow - its not that the nervous system is flawed or needs re-programming because thats just the 'alarm' isnt it  or can it be 'broken' and not responding correctly or stuck 'beeping' like an actual firealarm does ? 


Sometimes it feels like these things, for example, working with all the 'internal parts and voices' or somatic experiencing programmes or Vagal reset programmes are caught up in trying to 'fixing the alarm' rather than ever dealing with the cause of the smoke or teaching us how to understand what the alarm means and is trying to tell us ... does that make sense ?... what's the point of keeping reseting the alarm if the smoke is still there ... it would be dangerous to reset the alarm. Or is the alarm telling us there IS NO SMOKE (trauma) or that the alarm itself IS the smoke


I guess we HOPE that these programmes are about the fact the alarm got stuck 'on'/'off' or jammed at some point in the past when smoke was billowing out (or percieved smoke) and so now it isnt available as a system to give us accurate messages anymore about our reality or if there is smoke in the present moment.... BUT to just learn somatic experiencing tools to switch the alarm off because we dont like the sound when it's on then whats the point of that and isnt that missing the point of the purpose of the nervous system. I'm getting confused about how to Know if there is any value in it all that helps to get to the back room with all this... or if these 'practical somatic things' just confuse the system more... and are the mind trying to interfere in the process or outwit itself when it cant.
