All we have control over is ourselves and our own internal work. In our relationships, we can share what we know with people, but ultimately, they need to be ready to do their own work. A lot of people have to hit rock bottom before they can even see the value in this work. It’s really interesting when I give these talks, because the people who are most interested are the ones who have really been there. People have to be hungry for that healing to really want to put the effort in. As much as we focus on ourselves and our own emotions, it helps us to conserve that energy for our own healing. As we change as people, we’re actually going to have a different effect on others. People might begin to look at you as a role model and say “Look how he has healed. I kind of want to be like that.” We can lead by modelling in this way. For more information about Nina and her Somatic Experiencing practice, visit thesomaticpt.com.

Join us in this experiential exercise, where we learn to identify stressful emotions at their root in our body sensations. When we think of something, emotions immediately show up in our body as sensations. These emotions can be arising either from believing a particular thought or from an old trauma association. Somatic Experiencing is a natural healing technique for PTSD and trauma. It is based on the fight or flight aspect of the nervous system. When we go through traumatic events, a rise in adrenaline causes us to have instincts to fight, flee or freeze up. If we don’t follow these instincts, as animals do in the wild, our nervous system is going to get stuck in a particular place and we’re going to experience some degree of trauma or PTSD. Most of us have some degree of trauma because we live in a “civilized” society where we were taught to deny our emotions, so we don’t act on our wild instincts. This suppression causes us to store unexpressed emotions, which can lead to many physical and emotional issues. One such side effect of this is getting trapped in a rumination cycle of constantly reliving a trapped emotion without being able to release it.

While neuroticism is often spoken about in negative terms, it has some surprising advantages. People with neurotic traits often feel more love in life, while people with stable traits may struggle to feel something.
