the mind and heart and body are names for different intelligences for how to move through the world when there's life long dissociation there's deep clenching on the mental way deep distrust of the body moving emotions too many things stuffed behind the closet reasonable https://t.co/cwmAv9V3pO

something people miss is *dissociation is an act of the body* it is the body itself declaring, "this is not a safe space to be right now!" "please use the mind and be functional! come back to me later!"

too many "somatic" people will come in and tell you enthusiastically to "just open the cupboard" and not be willing or prepared to sit with you with all of your broken plates as your life, job, and functionality you've built up crashes down https://t.co/xKyITUVltR
