In a previous article about REBALANCING THE BODY AND NERVOUS SYSTEM: HEALING UNRESOLVED EMOTIONAL WOUNDS, we discussed that people who had a stable primary foundation in childhood, without experiencing early trauma, tend to regulate their nervous systems effectively when exposed to acute stress. They can bounce back to a state of well-being more easily than those who lacked such a foundation. However, problems arise when an attuned connection was lacking during someone’s childhood, leading to difficulties in regulation or adaptive shutdown in response to stress. In such cases, it’s useful to understand how our memory functions and how childhood trauma...
In our daily lives, we often overload ourselves with constant activity, and at times, it feels like we’re pushed into this relentless rhythm. Modern parenting no longer relies on community support; instead, we juggle the responsibilities of work and home life while being bombarded with information from all directions.

Essentially, when trauma enters the picture, our internal “alarm system” for detecting threats can become compromised. For people who have experienced traumatic events, developmental or complex trauma, the ability to scan the environment for danger may be somewhat skewed. Detecting of danger in world is changed by trauma Since our bodies are wise and try to protect us from...
“Can we take a moment to listen to what your body is saying right now? What’s happening when we’re talking about that situation? Whatever is happening, what sensations and feelings do you have?’ “I’m holding my breath and I don’t know why, I feel tension in the solar plexus and feel as if my shoulders...
Can nurturing of emotional intelligence in children bring happiness into their lives
I feel fear, anxiety, light trembling in my body and then the tears come. I give way to them and remain embracing myself; I am here for the little girl inside who feels sadness. As if she were slowly disappearing in the ocean of tears, and I take her into my arms and say: “It’s...
Sometimes we lose track from the flowing river of our life and feel stuck. We even sometimes forget our origin, love and kindness.
All that is because we had to disconnect
