In an experiential loop today
Retreat into thought -> Dissociated -> Retreat into present -> Sad -> Retreat into thought
Conversation
I feel like the only way to break the loop is to sit with the sadness but I don't wanna 😤

try explaining to yourself why you don’t wanna sit with the sadness

Thank-you QC ❤️❤️❤️
Your encouragement let me silence my inner critic enough to just type away
Heart is aching now, but does feel more... Purged
Not sure that's the right word but is the one coming to me

fwiw bioemotive was incredibly, incredibly helpful to me for this kind of thing - got to very precisely describe the sadnesses so i could finally cry it all out. and, even then still often have to express a lot of the resistance too

Thank-you! This sounds very helpful
Chronic emotional activation sounds very familiar 😓
& I came across the 3 levels of knowing in isolation before & it alone helped me reframe a lot!

A framework that has really helped me with this is the idea of:
Mind knowing
Heart knowing
Body knowing

It's funny reading that and observing what's going on inside though
The leading part of me is like "ooooh awesome, this'll be so helpful"
While another part is like
"GRAGHHAGHGAGHGGH EMOTIONS BAD"
Which is the same part that isn't letting the sadness sit
