Slow down and LIsten
Burning out looks like too much, too fast all the time. We lose our ability to process, integrate and digest when we experience an overload. Titration means that we slow things down. Slowing down looks like pausing, and taking time to notice sensations in the body. When we do this, the sensations of the body will often move towards completion of protective responses that were unable to be carried out in the past. You get to decide the pace and this gives you empowerment and space. I will be there to hold the experience for you.
For most people, being in their bodies feels uncomfortable, intimidating…even scary. Instead you may have chosen adaptive strategies such as using substances, shopping, doom-scrolling…whatever self-soothing methods worked. You were doing what you needed to survive.
This is a beautiful practice of focusing and listening to your body to find your felt sense and discover new personal insights. This listening session is like guided meditation, but it’s more of a conversation with the body.
Here’s what to expect:
You show up to our call from a safe and preferably cozy space.
We will do a general body scan, where you slow down your mind and breathing and connect with each part of your body. We will look for parts of your body that stand out to you, letting the body talk and providing it with a way to talk to us. If your shoulder is standing out to you I will encourage you to use words that describe sensation rather than words that will get you lost in old stories. This connection helps you become grounded and in conscious conversation with your body.
In this approach, there needs to be a sense of safety for the body. I want you to see how to respect what your body wants and doesn’t want. If a sensation feels particularly challenging and uncomfortable, I’ll be there to guide and co-regulate. You get to choose to accept and be compassionate to whatever shows up in your body, even if it’s uncomfortable. This will give you access to curiosity, compassion and intuition.
