Welcome to Part 3 of Sleep. We may be able to implement many of the environmental and habitual/routine changes in Part 1 & 2 but ultimately, it can feel we have no control over what happens if and when we get to sleep, which is what makes Part 3 so frightening: Nightmares.
Welcome to Sleep Part 2. If you haven’t done so already, it might be a good idea to check out Part 1, to remind yourself what a lack of sleep does to us and why it’s so important to try and get our sleep back on track; especially when we are navigating trauma or anxiety. You may also find some inspiration to transform your sleep through simple tweaks to your environment which are the foundational step in creating your sleep space in which to conduct your sleep routine.
Welcome to the 5th in the series of the Reclaiming Your Body series looking at one of the biggest issues my clients face: sleep. Or rather, lack of it.
Welcome to Part 4 of our Reclaiming Your Body Series where we’ll be exploring simple ways to start reclaiming your body as your own; reconnecting to it being a part of you and bringing you back to a state of wholeness.
Welcome to Part 3 of the Reclaiming Your Body Series, in which we’ll look at grounding: coming back to your body in the present moment when in the grip of anxiety or when trauma triggers occur. Simple grounding techniques can help bring a sense of control when it feels like your body has been hijacked or when dissociation occurs.
Welcome to Part 2 of our Reclaiming Your Body series where we’ll be looking at our first tool: your breathing.
When you experience trauma, whether it’s a Big T (single event) or complex trauma (repeated or prolonged traumatic experiences, situations or relationships) it can create intense ongoing physical sensations of threat and unease; you may no longer feel safe within your body, leaving you feeling exposed and vulnerable.
