On the road to integration.

Healing doesn't mean telling your story once and never thinking about it again.

Healing is often returning to your story when needed, processing another layer, integrating another piece, and refusing to let shame bury it again.

It's not a straight line.

It's a lifelong process of becoming more whole.

[TraumaHealingGuy @traumahealing23 @TraumaHealing23]

@MarkTonerX My experience is those that toss around the "victim mentality" are deeply disconnected from their own pain and cannot face it. It's why others dealing with theirs throws them for a loop and hence the judgments.

@vvanmiz If it's an ex, you've established that you're not compatible. Why can't your brother or your friend prove to be compatible with your ex? I don't understand that reasoning.

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

i hope you remember it's very human and normal to crave affection, human interaction, attention and love. you're not "too needy" or "too sensitive" for wanting to have your emotional and social needs met accordingly.

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@Wyd_eshuu Yes! Absolutely

Many don’t know that silence is an active neurological stimulus (it is not merely the absence of sound). It is not ‘neutral’ but rather a signal which indicates there is safety for our bodies to go into repair.

Silence produces measurable, non-intuitive effect in our brains that do not occur with relaxing sound(s), music, white noises or guided rest, etc.

When experiments have been run on this, silence typically outperforms any sound option.

I’ve always found this fascinating, so here are a few more things silence does to us neurologically :

Reduces inflammation

Reduces cortisol

Supports neurogenesis
(Indirectly increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling), which matters because BDNF is one of the key molecules that help us integrate and grow new neurons.

Additionally, silence gives the hearing centers of the brain real rest. We want this because the brain is usually at work to constantly interpret all sound into a meaning + appropriate response.

Silence also quiets the brain’s alert system, which matters because a constantly active alert system in our body pulls us into weakness and a state of depletion.

Silence allows the mind to organize properly, which is when (and how) our thoughts, memories and emotions naturally integrate.

Silence supports our brain’s memory center. This plays a key role in learning and our emotional balance.

Silence lets the nervous system return to its healthiest state + rhythm

Silence strengthens our body’s *calming* nerve pathways, which in turn regulate our stress, digestion and heart rhythm.

Silence gradually lowers our stress hormones, as mentioned with cortisol above

Silence supports healthy emotional processing. We want this because unprocessed emotions will keep the system constantly reactive and in a looping state one can’t get out of

Silence teaches the body that safety does not require a distraction

Silence sends a clear signal to the body that it is safe enough to heal (including in nervous system dysregulation states, of which most of us suffer from to some small to large degree)

@c0smicempr3ss Yes, the energy is high and people around me are acting reckless. I feel calm and collected and everyone I meet seems to have a nervous energy.

@kiesha9i That's normal 😉

THE BIGGEST LIE YOU BELIEVE WHILE DATING AN AVOIDANT:

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@Airuhlye @ayogiovanna So true

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@TheDivineBruxa Health! 🙏

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@CosmicShakti37 Very interesting! I have to process and think about that. Maybe I don't fully understand my inner processes. Thanks for the explanation.

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@TraumaHealing23 ❤

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@CosmicShakti37 No

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@ayogiovanna There are people who want superficial relationships that they can pursue, but they don't.

[Fylgia Pi @fylgiapi]

@ayogiovanna No, I have no problem with the posts about avoidants. They create trauma that takes years to heal instead of avoiding getting into relationships with people who need emotionally deep, stable relationships. Avoidants get exactly the reactions they create.

@rinasnights If climate change is caused by human activity, and not natural changes that go in cycles, then we have to choose between reducing the number of people on Earth (very unpleasant) or reducing the number of trillionaires (very difficult). All that remains is to plant trees, etc.
