1366 || dysregulation as resistance
from Make Your Damn Bed
@pat.radical.therapist asks: "What if dysregulation is a form of resistance?" and "What if liberation isn't in the perfect regulation of our nervous systems but in the deep, embodied permission to exist as we are - in movement, in mess, in rage, in laughter, in all the things that were never meant to be tamed?" - PatriciaTrying to regulate our dysregulation the time, instead of really listening to it, can be counterintuitive.Maybe it's time we stop trying to ground ourselves in unstable soil. Maybe it's time we listened to what our nervous system is saying instead of trying to battle it into submission. "Our healing is not about being soothed into submission. It is about remembering that we are meant to feel, meant to move, meant to be alive in our fullest range." - Prentis Hemphill @Pat.Radical.Therapist IG post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFdJtaYOIfw/?img_index=6&igsh=NmJoZmY2N3IwY2dj3 stages of trauma recovery: https://healingfromcomplexptsd.com/stages-trauma-recovery/@sia_ontheotherside IG post: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCT_cwfOoeE/?igsh=MnVtNHczc3IxaWFwPsychotherapist Pete Walker: https://pete-walker.com/Donate to Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund::www.pcrf.netDonate to Mutual Aid Funds: https://www.folxhealth.com/library/mutual-aid-fundsGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
