Our Potential to Heal
the potential to heal enters our field when we perceive that our world is safe, internally and externally.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we detect safety through a largely unspoken about sense, but one we wish to bring to light and keep there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this sense is called neuroception.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
neuroception happens below the level of our conscious awareness, scanning our environment for cues of safety, such as prosodic and melodic voices, higher pitched sounds, eye contact, facial cues provided by the upper and lower face, compressive touch, and more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
these processes of detection happen far more rapidly than our educated mine could ever conceive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
when we feel and perceive safety both internally and externally by way of neuroception, our body can remember to prioritize healing. and in so doing, express more life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
when neuroception does not detect these cues of safety, our nervous system shifts into a state of alert, defense, protection, and survival.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
who’s been there recently?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we are here to help you and your family shift out of a state of alert and defense, and into one of healing, restoration, and growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
last we checked, that is where life happens.
