I know I'd prefer a softer landing. How about you?

Some of our clients have been "going, going, going" and are going to continue doing so until they "collapse." When we can see that coming it's often worth introducing the idea of planning or preparing a time when they can permit themselves to "not do more" but instead allow their bodies to try to rest and restore a little.
Obviously not a solution to overarching activation, unsustainable lifestyle choices or classic nervous system disregulation, the "planned collapse" can help soften the challenge of an exhuastion that threatens to make things worse.
Toward the end of this episode I role-play an introduction to offering these ideas to a client: complete with mitigating language, preempting the Red Vortex, menuing, and titrating toward the Yes - any of which might be cut out when they're unnecessary due to a client's relative interest or resiliency. These are all communication issues that I cover indepth in Twig's Guide to the SE Language.
Mentions:Although I flail when trying to remember Marjorie Shostack's name in this episode, her book Nisa is a classic ethnographic exploration and well worth checking out sometime. Here's a cliff note style review.

Continuing on with a mini-series on The Voo Sound. Here we take a deep 2-hour dive at a still incomplete list of values and opportunities in the Voo Sound from introduction to tracking sensation, to stimulating the viscera in titrated fashion, to effecting energy well transitions, utilizing a “reverse engineered intervention” to evoke the ventral vagal complex’s influence on the Vagal Brake and on and on…for those who are still curious or dubious about investing time and attention in the Voo Sound with your SE clients, here is support and encouragement in making that investment.
I’ve been looking forward to returning to SE Reflections for a series of episodes in 2023 and had intended to start by reviewing the many reasons for the Voo that we do (for yourself and with your clients).
These are trying times, and still, there are SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO.
An episode dedicated to looking at the challenges, and some of the inherent psychobiological influences of the current pandemic.
