Yeah, I think it's really fascinating, interesting around these kind of stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and about our lives.

Do we do it out of a point of like consciousness or mostly I probably think unconscious that we don't want to really access these painful parts.

No, we don't want to come to terms that, oh, you know, maybe these things did happen to me and they were a little bit shitty or terrible and we don't want to fully feel them.

Or maybe there are protective mechanisms, you know, stories we tell ourselves to, yeah, not access the bad parts or the challenging, difficult things.

But those stories can actually, you know, then limit our lives really, can't they? A hundred

And, you know, for me personally, Something I remembered very clearly from my childhood is a lot of bullying in school.

And even so, I remember that very clearly and I could tell you exactly like certain places or certain people who were involved or certain topics, like reasons why I got bullied and all of that.

At that point, a few years ago, I still haven't had really metabolized them because I didn't know how to feel what was happening at that point and what was locked into my nervous system.

Trauma is not what happens to us, but how our nervous system reacts towards what's happening.

the energy that's created through reacting towards what's happening, not being like fully released, but, Being like stuck, held on to, stuck down, like, yeah, stored in our nervous system, in our body through that.

That's like the last resort because mostly as children, we cannot fight back and we cannot run away.
