Deb Dana: Befriending Your Nervous System

[@natashazoe181]

I feel like my childhood trauma has broken my nervous system. People seem repulsed by me. Very few want to coregulate with me. I find it very hard to find and maintain safe connections with humans. Thank you for helping me understand this. The knowledge allows me to not take it so personally. Now I also have tools to regulate myself and start to change the message my nervous system is broadcasting to the universe. Hopefully I can turn it around and experience some loving kindness.

[@MrSimonj1970]

Same, but knowing what's going on is such a relief! You might find TRE and EMDR helpful too, and Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing exercises. It's going to take time, but we got this!

[@trashyboombashy]

Yes, you got this! We got this! I already changed a lot, over years, and it is so rewarding then to see that it is possible!

[@joedavis4150]

... Sounds true, thank you for still kicking it! I'm 80 years old now, and back in the 80s, when I was in my forties, grief was a crucially troubling issue of mine. I ordered tapes from you that helped.... I'm now over it.... for your younger listeners, I think grief would be a really important subject for you to address today.

[@debrajorgensen2730]

Gosh! The 80’s don’t seem that far away. I was in my thirties and now pushing 70. It’s hard to realise just how fast our lives clip along 😮. And I know I have stuck grief in my chest. I have been stoic all my life. Rarely cry. Feel like I can’t cry. Frozen tears 😢

[@billiverschoore2466]

Ah so that's why smiling makes you feel better... interestingly smiling helps you notice more beautiful people/things/happenings... smiling at yourself for those cringy moments also brings the great relief of acceptance and compassion - and ideas for better ways. 🙏🏽 🌳🕊💚

[@LisaEverette]

I didn’t get to co-regulate with another human being until I was 35 years old. I did have a sense of safety. I felt safe in his arms. We were together for 3 years. After the break up I had a huge sense of being unsafe and I couldn’t understand it. My nervous system was a wreck. It was a very unfun time. It took about 4 months to even feel okay going to the store alone. You saying that we need another person to co-regulate gives me so much clarity and sadness. I’ve been working on myself for my whole life. And I’ve been thinking I have to regulate myself before seeking my future partner. This is a total paradigm shift and I don’t know what to do with it. I’ve learned that I should handle my stuff. But I also hear you say that you need a foundation to do it successfully which makes sense because I’ve done so much meditation, spirituality, therapy and it seems like something is missing. How on earth would I meet someone who will take me as I am? Unregulated. 😢

[@LisaEverette]

For more back story, my mother left me alone as a toddler. I was always hungry, thirsty, neglected. If she was home, she was passed out from drugs or her drug friend were there. Then she gave me a little brother. I was his caretaker as a small child myself. I didn’t know how to care for him but we were alone together. Starvation was my comfort, my constant. Sometimes she would send me to a neighbors house to eat. Sometimes I would stay at my grandmothers house. She was too old to care for me however. At 5 I was roaming the neighbourhood as much as I wanted. I came and went as I pleased. I remember one day she was asleep on the couch and I woke her up and told her I was hungry. She told me there was nothing she could do for me and she went back to sleep. I was used to it. At 6 I went into foster care. No love or attention, but I had food and necessities. Eh it’s a very long story.

[@lisaburns4349]

@@LisaEverette that’s been a long, lonely road. We long for connection and safety but don’t always know how to believe in it or trust in it. It’s a process, and I believe self compassion helps. I wish you healing and connection.

[@alwaysamazed]

Oh dear. What an extreme situation...I hope there was not violence as well! I found a solution to this dilemma by befriending/coregulating with nature. Pretty much leaving people out of the picture. (I was raised near wilderness, rivers, etc . which made it perfect to feel safe, calm, intimate). I began to feel so organically connected to earth, water, rocks, wind, sun* --supported, nurtured, guided, protected-- that my nervous system healed many, many wounds. It's possible! And give yourself 💚❤💙💜for making it this far, and finding resources like "sounds true"! Excellent navigation! Sending much love, empathy, respect to you (it is never easy). *and animals! Ps: lots of free stuff on line about nurturing your own "inner child"!

[@MaricaIvica]

You have to take care of you. It is also a choice when we are older. Learn about you, care, sooth. Get know your values and boundaries. He or she that comes can come into your life May it be friendship or more . But you care of you, you have to check if they are worth it. But to feel and know it, is a journey. And you can. I believe in God. Maybe you do not, but then you have to maybe search for a filosophy that suits you. Something that inspires you. You first need to grief , heal and care for You. No one can do it for you. I too had a hard time as a kid and it is a lot of work for the wounded hearts, but you can. I am on the path...

[@BeYourUniquePotential]

This precious interview popped up today. Serendipitous, for sure. I used to hide to keep safe and still incline to this way of thinking, not so much now in my 40's. It was either that or all guns blazing (at least I am aware of this feeling not necessarily acting upon it), other than in protection of others. Understanding our story is so key to helping us connect and work with our bodies now and love others more deeply. Precious wisdom I will take into my day. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@cherylwilsherlimberlife7210]

So frustrating when the threat coming from others is so relentless that it drives your nervous system into defences like collapse, when you are trying to help hear support connect. But they are triggered and sending out traumatised threat responses which your nervous system responds as threat, because it is having that energy fired at it.

[@zellyrestorick5831]

You sound like you're in a distressed space of being. I am just sending you some loving wishes - and don't freeze-frame yourself here... Everything passes... know that this feeling will pass.

Great interview! This theory is connecting the dots for me on how my nervous system reacts to events and why certain actions can bring me back to a more peaceful state. I wasn't able to get to those actions before because my nervous system told me it was better for survival to stay in this inactive 'safe' state. But because these event are actually not life threatening, its better to tell my nervous system it is safe and try some regulating actions. Thank you both very much!

[@rosaiaruberto6588]

Very important basic life skills: understanding, knowing our nervous system, how to regulate it and co-regulate in connection with others. This knowing and practices are key for human evolution out of survival. In particular, the use of scientific concepts and terminology is more appealing to western culture. Until now this wisdom and practices have been more at the basis of ancient eastern (yogic, tantric, buddhist) traditions and practices. Yet maybe their intutive, more symbolic, methaphoric and mythic language may have been less accessible to all and to a more scientific mindset. Thank you for this work.

[@lovelyella]

I agree that co-regulation is healing, I am suffering CPTSD, and when I try to go out and find people who are safe, I’m struggling to find authentic safe people. How do you cope when u are unable to resource with others? When I’m depersonalizing and dissociating ( in freeze) I’m not gonna be able to meet new people. Isn’t there a certain amount of self resilience that we need to start with to discern who is safe and caring? Particularly since I’ve had a history of narcisstic abuse and a HSP, I can’t help but feel re-traumatized that I’m somehow not worthy of full healing since I can’t find people to co-regulate with…. Any suggestions on how to befriend from that place?

[@Brancaalice]

LOL, safe people in the world? Most them walk in the edge. You have to take care only of your nervous system and it take care of those out there. If you are safe, you put all out there safety and move your way around. That is Nervous System in excelence performing it task.

[@nickmagic9557]

Write a list of hardline boundaries for yourself. (Personal boundaries that you don’t want crossed under any circumstances) pen to paper not notes. This helps you to remember them because you had to think of them to write them and writing them seals them in your mind. When you come accross a new person let them know things that you don’t want. If they cross your boundary /s, notice the first time and act immediately communicating the cross and how it made you feel. People who continually do it aren’t for you. 🥰👍🏻👍🏻

This is a fascinating topic. While it sounds like many people bounce around between the three Vagal states of the nervous system, I believe many people, myself included, get stuck in a long term freeze (Dorsal) from childhood trauma. We get cut off from our life force, our energy flow, our spirit. Many of us have been trying to heal/release deeply embedded emotional wounds with mental therapy, when it’s the body and nervous system that need to be healed. Also, I can’t help but wonder how many learning blocks and disabilities are the result of not being in the Ventral Vagal state enough, considering that when you’re in one of the other two states you’re not connected to your frontal cortex. That detail was a little shocking. Thank you both. 💛
