Activation is healthy. It’s our body’s natural rhythm of protection… and in the same breath, it can be deeply uncomfortable to hold at times.

Here are a few thoughts as I walk through no therapy day & explain the activation / moments I held and what I did to navigate it 🌀:

Hypo-arousal: darker mornings can feel slower, heavier, softer, and quieter.

However we wake up, and it’s different for everyone …and from one day to the next, I think it’s always a good opportunity to pause before we get out of bed and do a body scan. Notice how we’re arriving and how our energy feels, then attune any movement or morning needs to what we find.

*** morning energy so quick 3 km run with Tulls to move and connect inward.

Blended state of ventral vagal and hyperarousal: staying grounded and connected to the body, with logic and emotion both online. Hyperarousal brings ideas, energy, and connection to the surface.

**Consult meetings with the crisis management teams, evolving their training practices.

Coffee break. Always.

Bidirectional stimulation: activates both ventral vagal and hyperarousal at once.

*** When the excitement of building this course tips me into high sympathetic drive, I can get stuck there. Movement is a beautiful tool for this. It helps my nervous system and body slow my thoughts down, and it gives the energy somewhere to go while I vocalize / build out the video sequence for the course content while I walk.

Community connection / ventral vagal state.

*** Lululemon fit session, very grateful to try on some gear for teaching at PACE Spin Studio & Lagree Pandosy !
Thanks lululemon

Hyperfixation: is a narrowed, intense focus that keeps the nervous system mobilized and draws attention away from the body

functional freeze: is when the body stays activated but movement stalls, so you can look like you’re functioning while feeling stuck…

*** Hyper-fixated on learning the new tech platform the course is built on … so I needed to pop out of that state… went to Aldo Magana class to get back into my body and into motion 🌀

A gentle invitation for you, and a reminder for me.

Just like emotions, glimmers are fleeting. They move. And just like our day-to-day, life requires us to keep going: the errands, the emails, the to-do list that never quite ends. So this is a gentle reminder to inject moments of stillness. Teaching our bodies that slow, white space, softness, and sacred time are safe is so important.

Here’s a little glimpse of where I’m slowing down and noticing lately. I invite you to do the same today. 🤍

Thanksgiving tradition (5 years in the making). Chinese food + Yahtzee until sunset✨

A gentle reminder.

Sharing space with Maddie Johnson | Counselling Through Connection and the tree that creates containment 🤍

After session // grounding time.

Big gratitude for guest speaking on a lecture for DBT x nervous system needs

Just love.

Slow movement with fam.

When I started learning about how our bodies function, hold, and move energy / stress / pressure in life, the moment I started to understand my own energy and system better.

Comment or dm ‘movement’ and I’ll send a freebie your way with a visual / verbal learning.

You’ll also be added to the waitlist for the course.

Thanks for being here.

First off, what is Self energy and IFS?

IFS stands for Internal Family Systems.

A therapy model that sees our mind as made up of different parts, each with its own job, like the part that pushes us to keep going, or the part that wants to protect us from pain.

Self energy is the calm, grounded core underneath all of those parts. It’s the version of us that can stay present with whatever is happening in the body (despite the distress) without being taken over by it. When we’re in Self, we can hold discomfort instead of being run by it.

Just a life update and how I’ve been moving in community!

Play therapy and always following their lead xx

I’m training for a competition in Nelson. My training schedule has not been the strongest this year / in summer - and I’m giving myself grace to just show up in the best way as I can. It doesn’t always have to be full on 💦

Surfing with my gals. An opportunity to be present be playful, and just be still for a week. Lots of changes in my life this past yr (all amazing and good), but the opportunity to be playful and move… is exactly what my nervous system needed! (And we need to play more as adults)!

3k rips with her 🖤

somedays 3k is enough.

Seeing people move and connecting community lights up my heart. It’s exactly what we need.

Jayda, UBC MPT 1 Student coming soon xx

I’m building out a coaching platform / course. I’m not rushing or pushing this as I want to be very intentional about how I built this and integrate my passion around movement mental health, not only to connect with more people, but really step into spaces of education // integration // and more connection.

I love to be silly + present + playful + connected.

Thanks for being here.

Enjoy the end of summer xx

being an intentional conversation will also be in conversation with your own parts in your own system… This is emotional regulation. This is self attunement, and this is IFS therapy ✨💕📄
