To me, the most effective and efficient therapy is much the same as teaching a pilot how to operate a highly sophisticated NASA space ship.
Would they send an astronaut into space without first teaching them how every part of the computer worked? The significance of every alarm? What to do to keep themselves safe when panic rises?… along with simple self care techniques to keep morale high?
No, because we all know that without this training, an out of control vessel can equal catastrophic disaster.
Having lived through several significant traumatic events in my early years and engaging with countless therapists, it wasn’t until a dear, brilliant man educated me about the most basic physiology and biology behind my emotional body (aka. limbic system), that at 39 years old I FINALLY became equipped to operate ..... me.
What I had seen in myself for over 3 decades as a USELESS pilot in a completely dysfunctional craft, turned out to simply be an UN-EQUIPPED pilot, who didn’t yet have the training to deal with the alerts, alarms and safety protocols my vessel required to function optimally.
Once I began to understand my emotional mechanics, life as I knew it HONESTLY started to change, not only for me, but my family too,.
Emotional awareness is a POWERFUL tool, and it doesn't have to be confronting or complicated.
The best part is, this journey can begin from the start of our days, until our very last - it is absolutely never too early, or too late to learn.
