This is so important. I reject how most people throw survivors into anxiety categories. Many people are trying to heal after surviving in dangerous environments for so long. Therapy doesn’t always work because it’s easy to regret opening up to practitioners, because clients still feel like it can still backfire on them somehow. I hear many people feel this way after trying to go to therapy.

I had a miscarriage a few months ago after trying to conceive for 11.5 years. It was emotionally traumatizing for me. The fact that a death occurred inside my own body while I was home in my bed. The place where I felt the safest completely messed me up. Because if something so horrible could happen there, it means nowhere is really safe. It means something horrible can happen anywhere and at anytime. And that put me into 24/7 fight or flight mode. I started having anxiety attacks and feeling anxious and a feeling of dread in my stomach almost every day for months. I no longer felt safe anywhere because something horrible happened while I was safe in my bed inside my own body. My digestion was messed up because I was in fight/flight mode. Every time I had heartburn I was convinced I was having a heart attack. It was bad. I developed rib pain from being constantly tense. I felt like I had no control and that nowhere was safe. I have slowly been getting better. The anxiety switched to more sadness and crying and depression last month which I actually preferred. I felt like I was actually grieving instead of thinking I was going to die soon, and I've been feeling better the last few weeks. I have actually gone several days without crying which is so good. And I've actually started feeling happy again. Before I felt either anxious, depressed, or like nothing mattered. But going months without feeling safe and thinking you're going to die is just horrible, and I'm sorry for anyone else who has gone through something like this.

You articulate so brilliantly what I have been aware of for so long. Until I found your videos 3 years ago and later did the 21day and SBSM, I had a "nack" of picking unsafe guides, eg, The sleep specialist who when I said, "I think this (sleep apnea) might have something to do with having been birthed breached." To which she sarcastically replied, "That was a long time ago, George!", Implying I should just get over it and she was only one of many. The stuff just keeps surfacing til it "don't" (sic), and I'm so glad even at age 80 that it does, eg, This past month survival arousal kicked in BIG TIME when I had a medical issue "down there" and my mind was convinced I had Covid so having much medical trauma en utero and early childhood, I put off going to the hospital hoping the symptoms would go away. They didn't. So in big trembling survival arousal I bit the bullet, and wound up in the hospital where i spent 5 days on IV antibiotics, ate great veg food (Adventist hospital), had great doctors, tended to by sweet Thai nurses,

Hi Lena Jackobssen, Jen here from Team Lyon. Many people with trauma, and especially those of us with early/developmental trauma get easily over activated spending time with people. As for what to do, there's not an easy answer as it depends on your history and nervous system. In general, in situations such as these you might consider stepping away to give your system (and you!) a chance to settle, or interact with the people you're with in a way that supports this (settling/deactivation). If you haven't yet seen Irene's free Healing Trauma training I'd encourage you to check it out as I think it might shed some more light on your question and the experience you describe.

@IreneLyon
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris, thanks for your comment, this is Seth with Team Lyon. So from what you say, I think the key is in learning to really focus on the felt sense, NOT the thoughts or emotions, or interpretation. The nervous system actually doesn't throw anxiety at you, it presents you with sensations associated with an unresolved sympathetic arousal (fight/flight) state. That is what we call 'anxiety' - it is a cluster of sensations that we've given that label to. What normally happens is people become overwhelmed by the sensations, and that produces a fear response, and all of that triggers thoughts, which trigger more of the sensations. A positive feedback loop with negative results. The way to break this cycle is to really focus on the felt sense of the sensations themselves, understand they won't harm you, and work with the physiology to create space for those sensations, or to help soothe them, or to pay attention to other areas of the body that don't feel that way, or to move your attention more to the external environment. This is all stuff we teach in Irene's online programs, so those could be good to check out! irenelyon.com/programs/

Marleen Engbers, Jen here from Irene's Team. In short, the answer to your question is yes, and it's more nuanced than this. We need to be with what's arising in a way that we're oriented to the present AND we respect current nervous system capacity. Learning this can take some time, and many of us may need to take steps to first grow capacity before focusing on, or even feeling, underlying sensations, emotions, movements and move.

In the case you describe, where there is a life threatening illness, it's especially important to differentiate your body from the illness, to learn to find safety in your body. and to not allow the illness to take away your ability to do this. One of my long-term teachers lived with ALS for 40+ years, and I learned from her that it's important to remember that your body is your ally, that it's working hard to keep you alive. I find that Irene's teachings can help us to not only "know" this but to also feel and embody it on a cellular level.

Hi Where there's life there's hope, Jen here from Team Lyon. Generally speaking, the government actions will impact people differently depending on their unique nervous system and history. For example, some may feel more secure being told what to do to stay '"safe", others may feel like their freedom is being curtailed which can certainly be a stressor, and there's a range of reactions in between. In a nutshell, these measures can certainly have an adverse effect on parts of the population.

As regulation is restored the body is also much more able to restore and repair any damage or imbalance that resulted from the trauma.

I am now super upset that I have done this to me and what if it won’t past again. I feel like ı was at this great process of stabilization and I ruined it all along.

Hi Inci Çelikbilek, Jen here from Team Lyon. Great to say that you've been finding your therapy helpful. When we work at the nervous system level, one idea that can be helpful to keep in mind when we do this work is that less is often more. This might look like working through a small part of our experience - or the related feelings and sensations it brings up - at a time. It's common to want to go fast when we're experiencing pain or discomfort, and many times this can be overwhelming to the nervous system as it sounds like you many have experienced. Know that this happens often in this work as it's easy to do too much when we're starting and/or we have a sensitive nervous system. I'll link to two of Irene's resources that might be helpful. Many people also do one (or both) of Irene's online healing programs alongside working 1-1 with a practitioner and find it to be very helpful. I'll link to her introductory program, the 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up, in case you want to check it out. kzitem.info/news/bejne/sq6anpyKhoeEgo4 irenelyon.com/4-steps-to-calm-overwhelm/ 21daytuneup.com

The thing is, even if you aren't mean, it's sounds like you may have had people in your life in the past that WERE mean and hostile. Maybe not, but usually this is the case - as long as our body is holding the painful experiences that happened at the hands of other mean people, often early on in life, we will keep on attracting experiences like that into our life. This isn't anyone's fault, it's just how these things work. Our system always wants to heal, so it will keep on attracting the same kind of situation or relationship over and over, in the hopes of finding resolution. This is why it's so important to heal out trauma, for if we don't, it will just keep on repeating in some way .

Hey there Alive and Well, Seth here with Team Lyon. I hear yah! I created an entire lifestyle of soothing for myself in order to manage my anxiety and chronic pain - lived out of the mainstream and mostly in the woods for 13 years, by myself or in small communities, including a hot springs resort for seven years where I could soak and sauna every day - and that did help me manage and feel relatively ok most of the time, but I never actually felt safe, and I was still in pain a lot unless I stayed stoned most of the time, and if I went into the world at all BAM, severe anxiety came rushing back. I never found true resolution and healing until I discovered this work and applied myself to it consistently. It took about seven years of learning and doing but now I DO feel safe and am completely free from chronic pain and anxiety. It can happen! If you haven't gotten into this work yet, it's definitely worth exploring. Irene has loads of free resources a person can explore to see if they resonate with her approach. And if you do, SmartBody SmartMind, our 12 week intensive is open for registration until end of day this Sunday. Or maybe private work with a practitioner would suit you better, that can be a great way to go too. Whatever way you do it, I encourage you to keep watching here, and to check out the practical side of the work too - it really can help! Here's some links to explore....

Irene talks in this video about the importance of getting away from situations or relationships where it is not safe. What makes me feel unsafe is that I do not have a social network. I am all by myself. No one I can ask for help from if I need to, no relative who accepts me as I am, no one who wants to listen to me. No one ever makes contact. I have no problems talking to people or taking contact. During all my years, I am the one who kept relationships going and when I stopped calling the relationships died out. So I live in a situation where unsafety is there all the time. How can I create inner safety without the outer safety?

Also try to take some classes in things that interest you. I have found that book clubs help you connect to others, because you meet simply to talk to each other. I wish you much good luck in this challenge. You are not alone.

I love that you mentioned the fact that we can’t just wait to be in a fully safe environment, and I think this reaches us on a subconscious level, too. Because our mind is so focused on the threat, there will NEVER be a truly “safe” moment to know it’s time to begin. I’m an education major and my independent study is about teaching educators how they can help students feel regulated during the school day so that they are actually receptive to the learning environment. (It’ll also help educators feel regulated themselves, which is so important for classroom management and their general health?) But how can they truly feel safe when the news is full of school shootings?? Thank you 💖

That is phenomenal, I've been thinking about how we need this!!! I have been struggling with certain individuals within my daughter's elementary school system. Would you have any recommendations on jargon/language that facilitates communication with those who think it's okay to repeatedly deny a child with severe anxiety to seek help during a panic attack in class. We had a system setup with a counselor and therapist, but the teacher denied her to utilize it. She said, things like just swallow your tears and sit down, or your just nervous, your fine, No. I am at a loss with those who haven't had an understanding, while the school is covering their ass, with all these empty platitudes. I would love to read what you've been working on, or would gladly take any advice:) Thank you:)

I keep feeling "victim shamed" (I know I am not a victim although I was victimized )& blamed for my own abuse narcissistic abuse ,neglect and abandonment trauma . sometimes I wish someone else could sit in my session so they can tell me if I am right or if It's literally my twisted perception of people due to early childhood trauma..IDK having Cptsd really effects my life in ways I am struggling to change on my own but can't afford to find qualified help. I don't know what other work I can do other than KZitem videos and excersises.. It's so true that the symptoms keep me from doing the things I want and love to do and I would love companions in my life but I seem to have a thick aura of " you better back the F up buddy " & probably a glaring stare saying "don't you dare!"....talk about unintentional self sabotage ... I've been trapped for so long and now that I am free I'm realizing just how much is going on in me...its very overwhelming and takes all my energy to stay out of horrible depression...I am so very grateful for you beautiful soul...I can't wait to not be constantly in fight,flight, freeze, or fawn..

I go around constantly feeling unsafe…like something bad is about to happen to me. I can’t even define what that bad thing is but I have these constant feeling of dread and doom. Sometimes is overwhelming and any little problem triggers that feeling, thinking “this is it, isn’t ? Is the bad thing I have been waiting for.

Is it always about childhood? Tbh i have lost all my safety feeling after I moved abroad, experienced racism, abusive work and private relationships. I have been a very trusting person with lots of hobbies, successful career, and also talents in art but I have become a a completely different person, lost everything beautiful, everything I enjoyed and loved. I have been broken to an incredible degree by some people, every person I see in this country is a potential threat for me because I have been harrassed even at doctor, and healers. I dont know where I can go in such a world. I am in survival state, oscillating between giving up and surviving. Afraid of even my neighbours. I keep on watching healing stories of stray dogs to keep hope. I have no trust to any person anymore. (I used to have lots of friends until age of 28) this all happened afterwards. I feel all those unpleasant sensations, my body is like on electricity, but doesnt help for me.

my brain injury has limited my ability to do creative thought and imagination. Which along with the other symptoms has made most coping strategies moot and my only way out of each long and torturous episode is through I can't remember, mostly gets me numb to it until another things that is triggering or emotional gets stronger and takes its place.. I can't find anything while still dealing with the mental and health issues which makes basic self care a hard thing to do, even a basic daily task can be like walking through a battlefield. the more i distract from it and get a small day or two break (which is a improvement!) the more it comes back and more intense and pin point. The trauma of being tortured and not having control of most of yourself for years is a bumpy and steep one.

Hello, I’m a highly traumatized person (premature with 11 doctors trying to save me, incubated, asphyxiated almost and had tube put/showed down my throat for first weeks, and family life was also disaster out and neglecting) As I began doing this work I realized I’ve been unconsciously running away from my body my whole life, but I can’t for the love of god feel any safety in my body, I’ve been patiently sitting with my pain, but it just doesn’t happen. (I’m also in shutdown response at the same time) From what you’re saying in this video how I interpreted it is (in my case I have to feel the dread first)? Is that correct? This is reassuring but confusing me at the same time because from every trauma therapy source all I hear is you MUST feel safe and only then trauma is revealed and healed. What do I do, I feel like I’m locked in a box with sharp knifes confused how in the world can I get to safety? Please inform me on what to do, I’m not a newbie but And I’m really stuck at the same time, I feel like I want to numb out again. Any suggestions/recommendations/guidance will be extremely appreciated!

Hi Nicko Beridze, Jen here from Team Lyon. Many times when we have early/developmental trauma, we didn't learn to feel safe in the body. An important aspect of this work can be cultivating access to this experience over time. We typically want to focus on this before focusing too much on sensations and other internal experiences. When we didn't learn to feel safe, we can't "force" ourselves into feeling this way. We can create the conditions and consciously notice moments where we feel the slightest big in the direction of safety, or notice less unsafely. If it's an option, doing some 1-1 sessions with someone trained in working with early/developmental trauma (and particularly in Kathy Kain and/or Stephen Terrell's approaches) can often be quite helpful. Irene teaches elements of this work in her more comprehensive program, SmartBody SmartMind. I'll share a few related links in case you'd like to learn more. free Healing Trauma video training - irenelyon.com/healing-trauma Long form interview with Kathy Kain - kzitem.info/news/bejne/lYiCrKGiqGSnlWU How to Help Anxious Kids who Are Behaving "Badly" - kzitem.info/news/bejne/tp141JqCfmOSpo4 SmartBody SmartMind - smartbodysmartmind.com

Could it not be that by creating to much safety, a false sense of reality is created which will be falsified in real life? A perceived internal locus of control in the artificial situation, might prove insufficient in real life situations, and so even provide a reinforcing force of the traumatic sensations.
