“Why can’t I get over it or just let it go?”
Responses of the nervous system happen below the level of conscious awareness, in the survival brain. Becoming anxious, triggered or shutting down isn’t something you’re choosing - it happens automatically and instantly. If something feels familiar to a previous trauma, your physiology will move you into a state of fight, flight or freeze. You can’t talk yourself out of it or be more positive/capable/strong to change it. It’s not your fault.

I’ve spent loads of time, energy and money (and blood, sweat and tears!) on individual therapy, rebirthing, life coaching, group therapy and EMDR. It’s all helped enormously. I can’t help but feel osteopathy/energy work has made the biggest difference however, because the central nervous system calming has improved my physical health, in addition to the emotional/mental reprieve. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
