Stress Management and Somatic Processing: Interoception

Have you ever wondered why you keep on repeating the same unhealthy patterns over and over. Logically, you know that you need to be prioritizing your health but somehow, you fall back into unhealthy habits that feel extremely hard to break. Maybe there's a sense of urgency all the time.

You feel like you need to go-go-go and slowing down feels like something bad is about to happen. Maybe it's the other way around at times. There are days of pure depression and hopelessness, lack of motivation and energy.

Sometimes there's an urge to do something but you physically can't. These sensations can feel overwhelming at times that you find yourself eating unhealthy junk food and using things like smoking, vaping, drinking, or excessively shopping. You want to stop partaking in unhealthy habits that you know you're going to pay for in the future.

You want to prevent further damage from happening and want to take matters into your own hands today. All you want is to feel at peace, relaxed, and to stop feeling stressed out all the time. What if I told you that these symptoms are present because there are deep underlying trauma and chronic stress in your nervous system that needs to be processed.
