Let's Talk About...Patterns That Once Protected You

Returning today with another emotionally intense and research dense chapter into:

How Survival Shaped the Nervous System

A Brief Orientation for the Sceptical Mind

Patterns Not Pathology

Translating “Patterns” Into Physiology

(4 of) The Patterns That Once Protected You

We begin with the poem, I See You, before starting the reading of the chapter with a grounding note and a reminder of what this work is not.

The patterns we explore are not problems.

They are not character flaws.

They are not evidence of failure.

As there were with the readings of The Root Cause of Migraine, there are plenty of pause moments to help us digest and receive the information.

I’ll record the further 3 patterns along with the remaining part of this chapter later this week. Speaking to energy, bridging some of the language and the impact of trauma including birth imprints and what the body remembers. Why these patterns contribute towards chronic illness and how the shift towards change becomes possible.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
