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
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
at some point, some plates are going to get broken but the capacity you have when that happens matters a lot. the capacity you build up slowly, the capacity a safe trusted space offers, from having opened a bit of the cupboard before https://t.co/7hCQeVudyC
but maybe their cupboard was different than yours. maybe the emotional capacity their friends can offer if different from yours. maybe they did need to take a break from their job for 2 years or have a tech job where they can barely work
just know... they are not necessarily paying that close attention to you it's ok to listen and ignore them a bit https://t.co/AoTER8vxkk
