“Of all the pitfalls in our paths and the tremendous delays and wanderings off the track I want to say that they are not what they seem to be. I want to say that all that seems like fantastic mistakes are not mistakes, all that seems like error is not error; and it all has to be done. That which seems like a false step is the next step.” Agnes Martin

have you heard of dr. sarno’s method for healing back pain? many people swear by it, and it has definitely helped me in the past. here are 12 reminders from dr. sarno that you’re meant to review and apply daily to relieve your pain: 1. The pain is due to TMS, not a structural abnormality: Understand that the root cause of the pain is emotional and psychological, not a physical injury or structural issue 2. The direct cause of the pain is mild oxygen deprivation: TMS creates physical symptoms by restricting oxygen to muscles, nerves, or tendons, leading to discomfort 3. TMS is a harmless condition caused by repressed emotions: The pain is real but not dangerous. It’s the brain’s way of distracting you from unresolved emotional conflicts 4. The principal emotion is repressed anger: Acknowledge that anger, often unconscious, is the primary emotion contributing to TMS symptoms …

as a species, we must accept that we’re more than capable of meeting everyone’s needs without requiring everyone’s efforts. we must free people from having to earn the right to exist tech will help, but it will take more than that—it will take a release of the belief that a human’s worth is tied to work

are farcaster channels the parisian cafes of the web3 movement? of all the platforms we use, i think the vibes are the best here. so many incredible minds discussing interesting things and actually building and supporting each other! just for fun, here’s a thread of some chatgpt attempts to illustrate this idea. feel free to tag yourself! personally i love the enigmatic being on the far right, but the futuristic babes in stilettos in the last pic also go pretty hard

new piece by @jack i was just talking about this yesterday and how it can relate to the nervous system… “The habit of waiting until the last minute to complete a task is often tied to how our nervous system reacts to stress and pressure. Freeze Response When tasks feel overwhelming or stressful, your nervous system might go into freeze mode. This can make you feel stuck, unable to take action, and avoid the task altogether. Fight or Flight Activation Waiting until the deadline creates urgency, which activates your fight-or-flight response. The stress hormones released during this state (like adrenaline) help you break through the freeze and focus on getting the task done. Fear and Overwhelm Procrastination can also stem from fear of failure or feeling overwhelmed by the task. Deadlines simplify the situation and provide a clear boundary, making it easier to act under pressure. This cycle is your brain’s way of trying to cope with stress.” (written with chatgpt) do you work like this?

before all this trauma healing my nervous system was so frozen that every task required a massive battle against myself. it was like i subconsciously associated action with death and my body and mind were doing everything possible to keep me still. and it was killing me i was too foggy, sick, and fatigued to take care of myself and my life, and was falling more and more behind i used to use deadlines to switch from freeze mode to fight-or-flight and get some things done in a panic, but even that trick wore out (adrenal fatigue perhaps?) i didn’t realize how bad it was until i started to experience the opposite… now if there’s something i want to get done, i just do it. no battling myself, stressing, or budgeting my energy. it’s easy and light i’ve been running and strength training. fixing things around the house, deep cleaning, gardening, and keeping up with the laundry. and all the self care once i’ve caught up to a maintenance level with my health and home, i’ll add another category!

my dog’s favourite hotel! we stayed there for my birthday in 2021, and let her lead us all around the inside, sniffing every square inch of the place. she loved walking by the spa and the store with the huge muskox. when we checked out she was legitimately mad years later, we were in downtown banff, and let her walk us around. she went right to the river pathway, then followed it all the way up to the hotel, which was pretty far away, in through a back door, then straight to the concierge desk for a treat 😂

with the emdr video i use to process trauma and difficult emotions, you watch a colour-changing ball go back and forth (pong vibes) and you’re supposed to say the colours out loud. sometimes i start to disassociate and just name random colours instead it’s interesting to observe because it’s so obvious when it happens and kind of silly—you’re naming incorrect colours—and then you can correct it immediately, unlike life where it’s easier to stay on autopilot sometimes it’s crucial to stay present during emdr and complete the whole process. if you disassociate you risk reinforcing the trauma or getting stuck in a negative disassociated state rather than moving all the way through the emotion if you’re brave enough to stay present and complete the process, you can feel completely neutral or even positive about a past trauma, which is an incredible feeling!! this is just a clip. the full version can be dowloaded from their youtube link https://youtu.be/Ljss_Ut5pxY

i wish i could explain how profoundly impactful the last few months of healing have been. i don’t know how i survived before. i didn’t know things were so bad because i have no memory of them being good. my earliest memories are all traumatic so incredibly grateful that i’ve had the chance to do this 💛

Suppressing or masking your neurodivergence has been scientifically linked to the following health conditions: 1. Chronic Stress and Burnout 2. Anxiety Disorders 3. Depression 4. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 5. Cardiovascular Disease (e.g., hypertension, heart disease) 6. Autoimmune Disorders 7. Chronic Pain Syndromes (e.g., fibromyalgia) 8. Gastrointestinal Issues (e.g., IBS) 9. Sleep Disorders (e.g., insomnia, disrupted sleep cycles) 10. Substance Use Disorders These conditions result from the prolonged mental and physical toll of emotional suppression, heightened vigilance, and living out of alignment with one’s authentic self.
