You are the paralyzed by the past failures. The past failures are the source of the chronic self-doubt, the chronic chronic hesitation, the chronic sense of the never-quite-able. The past failures are also the source of the chronic somatic holding, the chronic chronic nervous system dysregulation, and the chronic sense of the never-quite-self-trusting that are the foundation of one of the most under-recognized, and most under-discussed, psychological phenomena in modern life. The phenomenon is the past failure paralysis, and the paralysis is the source of the chronic emotional dysregulation, the chronic chronic cognitive impairment, and the chronic disconnection from the self-trust that are the foundation of the most under-developed, and most under-celebrated, character traits of modern life.
The rebuilding of the trust in the self is the practice of using the somatic framework for the paralyzed by the past failures. The rebuilding is the source of the emotional regulation, the self-trust, and the meaningful life that are the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
What the Past Failure Paralysis Is
The past failure paralysis is the chronic, often unconscious, experience of the persistent somatic holding, the persistent chronic nervous system dysregulation, and the persistent sense of the never-quite-self-trusting. The paralysis is the source of the chronic emotional dysregulation, the chronic chronic cognitive impairment, and the chronic disconnection from the self-trust. The paralysis is the source of the difficulty of the navigation.
Research on trauma and the somatic holding by Peter Levine and others has shown that the trauma is the source of the chronic somatic holding, and the holding is the source of the chronic self-doubt. The doubt is the source of the cost, and the cost is the foundation of the difficulty of the navigation.
Research on the nervous system and the self-trust by Stephen Porges and others has shown that the nervous system is the source of the chronic self-trust, and the trust is the source of the meaningful engagement. The engagement is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
Why the Body Holds the Past Failures
The body holds the past failures for several reasons. The first is the the chronic fight-or-flight response. The body is the source of the chronic fight-or-flight response, and the response is the source of the chronic holding. The holding is the source of the cost, and the cost is the foundation of the difficulty of the navigation.
The second reason is the the chronic nervous system dysregulation. The body is the source of the chronic nervous system dysregulation, and the dysregulation is the source of the chronic holding. The holding is the source of the cost, and the cost is the foundation of the difficulty of the navigation.
The third reason is the the chronic muscle tension. The body is the source of the chronic muscle tension, and the tension is the source of the chronic holding. The holding is the source of the cost, and the cost is the foundation of the difficulty of the navigation.
The fourth reason is the the chronic breath holding. The body is the source of the chronic breath holding, and the holding is the source of the chronic holding. The holding is the source of the cost, and the cost is the foundation of the difficulty of the navigation.
What the Somatic Framework Achieves
The somatic framework achieves several important things. The first is the the nervous system regulation. The somatic framework is the source of the engagement with the nervous system regulation, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The regulation is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
The second is the the somatic release. The somatic framework is the source of the engagement with the somatic release, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The release is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
The third is the the self-trust embodiment. The somatic framework is the source of the engagement with the self-trust embodiment, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The embodiment is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
The fourth is the the future orientation. The somatic framework is the source of the engagement with the future orientation, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The orientation is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
How to Rebuild the Trust Through the Body
1. Use the body scan to identify the held failures. The scan is the source of the engagement with the body, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The scan is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
2. Practice the shaking or the trembling to discharge the held energy. The discharge is the source of the engagement with the body, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The discharge is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
3. Use the "pendulation" between the comfort and the discomfort. The pendulation is the source of the engagement with the body, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The pendulation is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
4. Practice the "small action" to rebuild the trust. The action is the source of the engagement with the trust, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The action is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
5. Use the "embodied celebration" of the small wins. The celebration is the source of the engagement with the body, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The celebration is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
6. Practice the "somatic experiencing" with the professional help. The experiencing is the source of the engagement with the depth, and the engagement is the source of the meaningful life. The experiencing is the source of the growth, and the growth is the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life.
7. Celebrate the trust rebuilds. The celebration is the source of the reinforcement, and the reinforcement is the source of the motivation. The celebration is the source of the engagement, and the engagement is the foundation of the navigation.
When the Somatic Framework Is the Right Move
It is important to say clearly: the somatic framework is the right move for the past failure paralysis, the chronic somatic holding, and the chronic sense of the never-quite-self-trusting. The somatic framework is the wrong move when the paralysis is the source of the medical condition, the active trauma, or the clinical depression that requires the professional intervention. The honest self-inquiry is whether the paralysis is the source of the past failures, or whether the paralysis is the source of the medical condition. The first is the source of the engagement, and the second is the source of the professional attention.
The Takeaway
The rebuilding of the trust in the self is one of the most under-recognized, and most under-celebrated, integrations in modern life. The integration is the source of the emotional regulation, the self-trust, and the meaningful life that are the foundation of the more engaged, more meaningful, more deeply self-trusting life. The cure is not the positive thinking. The cure is the somatic framework, the body work, and the engagement with the body as the source of the trust. The next time you feel the past failure paralysis, pause long enough to use the body scan, to use the shaking, and to engage with the somatic framework. The engagement is the source of the more meaningful, more self-trusting, more deeply embodied life.
