Healing the nervous system and completing from trauma

I’m doing really well healing my attachment wounds and finally seeing how my dismissive avoidant ex triggered such deep anxiety in me.

Letting go, detaching, and turning inward has been incredibly freeing. I’m proud of the internal work I’ve done—it’s been powerful to understand myself on this level.

Right now, I’m focused on healing my nervous system, especially after reading The Invisible Lion by Benjamin Fry. It all makes so much sense—I highly recommend it.

I’ve also started somatic shake therapy, doing it for 15 minutes every morning. For as long as I can remember, I’ve woken up with anxiety rooted in childhood fear of abandonment.

All my past dismissive avoidant relationships have triggered that again and again. But now, I’m finally breaking that cycle.

I’m reconnecting with passions that bring me joy—playing piano and riding again. Sitting trot actually doubles as somatic shake therapy, which is a beautiful bonus.

Things are truly shifting. I feel like I’m on an upward trajectory—breaking free from the past and stepping into a more connected, whole version of myself.

I hope others can benefit from my experience. The journey to wholeness is complicated and exhausting but the finished product is well worth the effort.
