Menopause is one of the best-kept secrets in our society. Not only do we lack a proper education or customs of support around this rite of passage common to all women, but often, menopause isn’t even discussed within families. Often suffered in silence or secrecy.
DISSOCIATION
I wonder sometimes how much dissociation created me. By automatically freezing ‘unwanted’ material and letting this constant dance between absence and presence decide how I show up in life, how I connect with others and the world around me. Is there still more of me that I do not know about?
PV Theory developed by Steven Porges is about how the autonomic nervous system works. PV Theory is like a recipe for a deep and meaningful connection with other people and the world around us. Science of safety and social connection.
"If someone has a pain in his hand […] one does not comfort the hand, but the sufferer.". – Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1953
I love this. That is so true, we do not talk to the back pain but to the person that is experiencing the back pain. For me that is a gentle reminder that the problem is not only in their back, it is far more complex than that.
Sometimes I think that I cannot afford to be still. I need to do something and I need to perform but stillness is so nourishing. Every time I enter that state I feel more together, more organised and spacious.
