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.
My nervous system is struggling with the drum and bass track over the voice over at the beginning!
nourishing my nervous system is majority of time separate from others
It was hard to hear your introduction of your speaker because your background music is so loud. Would be easier to hear you if you lower the volume of the music in the intro. I was completely lost in this presentation and didn't understand any of it which is frustrating to me because I am a college graduate but after 20 minutes I had to stop listening because it wasn't making any sense to me. I have multiple sclerosis and I would love to understand my nervous system and Tami really tried to pull things out of the author and I'm glad Tami understood something to ask a question but it just did not work for me and this author is speaking at some other level. Glad I listened to this and I didn't buy a product from her because I would have to return it.
... 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.
The audio is sooo bad, I can't understand what's being said.
So I've just realized I've never learnt to coregulate with people. It sounds like my disregulated nervous system automatically sends out signals to everyone else's systems. That may be the reason people haven't wanted to coregulate with me. What an interesting cycle lol.
Collapsing to survive a threat...is how many of us have survived.
This was surreal. Thank you so much for sharing such a profound, life-altering knowledge so simply and crisply in an hour. This was most beautiful Tami Simon. Deb Dana Maa'm you are a freaking genius and an angel at the same time.
Another one of those talks.... It is quite damaging for people like myself, I have ALS/Motor Neurone Disease, that just by following your technique we all can be cured. It is actually quite ableist and shows intolerancy of people with disabilities and/or illnesses. The opposite of helpful
Let go of what has passed.
Interestingly, my nervous system was exhausted before the pandemic, sheltering in place changed everything,
I'm a massage therapist and this was such a lovely exploration and welcomed reminder to be mindful and kind when working with clients and their body. Thank you!
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.
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.
Too bad the sound is so bad- I would have really enjoyed this!!!
Awesome! I realise how much my biological system/nervous system has been taking care of me and protecting me. I will work on my awareness of this to be kinder to myself and others.
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. ❤️
This makes sense why I'm struggling to self regulate, as I can't seam to find any pathways, just frozen and numb, disconnected. No safe other to hold and connect to me, so I can find my self.
Great conversation but the sound quality was so frustrating.
