Who Turned The Lights On?

• S3:E15 Knowing What It Means To Be Nervous System Informed v. What It Looks Like Living It

  Roseanne Reilly joins me (Shannon Eastman) for episode 5 of our 6 part series - A #NervousSystemInformed approach to finding your way out of the dark. We do a brief recap on the #NervousSystemContinuum and its 4 states: Survival Mode, Dysregulation, Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation. We revisit how each state determines your inner world... we used me as an example so words like 'fear-soaked' insides, that impacts your outer world, which looked a lot like the need to 'defend', 'protect', 'ghost', 'chaos' and 'hide'.   This episode examines the difference between what it means to be #NervousSystemInformed vs what it looks like to live this work. As it goes, we ended this exchange in just short of 30-minutes.  It's not easy to wrap our heads around what life is like AFTER we find our way out when you're still lost in the dark - I do my best to objectively reflect on who I was, what I was like, the evidence my life demonstrated before this work, and now who I get to be, what I get to do, and how I show up, today.  Recently, a dear friend of mine shook her head, looking me dead in the eye and suggested she hardly recognises me today. That life for me before this work was on par with a dumpster fire. I reckon 5% of me flinched recognising its truth. 95% of me embraced her, laughing, and shaking my head in disbelief at how much can change, and how much is available on this side of doing the nervous system work. I wouldn't have (couldn't have) dreamed that I could have a quality of life like the one I have now. This episode attempts to communicate that exact distinction. If you're reading this and feeling any sort of grip, pinch or shallow breathing wondering how I did it and if it might work for you too, www.handsoftimehealing.com is Roseanne's website.

• S3:E14 Jung, Einstein and Roseanne on the Role Your Environment Plays in Recovery.

  We are in part 4 of a 6 part series as we unpack Roseanne's Nervous System Informed Approach to finding stable ground in ways that are long lasting.  So ways that engage neuroplasticity, bioplasticity and easily accessible to you, when you know what's what.  In this episode we do a quick recap on the 6 dynamic stages of the Nervous System Informed Approach, we revisit the Nervous System Continuum and its 4 key states: survival mode, dysregulation, self-regulation, and co-regulation. We recap the Inner World and how it informs you Outer World. And then dive into Environment.  "The environment is the sole governing agent of the particle!" - Einstein We can change the programs running our human on autopilot by consistently feeding new information in 60-second increments to our body. We do this through self-awareness that allows us to both recognise the internal grip that shows up in the body, and the things in our environment, that when we pause and connect with for 60-seconds, release the grip. Doing this consistently throughout your day, day-to-day provides your body with new information that changes the programs.   Our 5 senses consume information from our environment at the rate of 500 soduko books a minute (let's say). That information being taken in through a body locked in survival mode, will be distorted and misread signalling our nervous system that we are not-safe-can't-trust, which wil instruct 50 trillion cells in our body to animate accordingly.  We can bring awareness that this is happening. Then we can cultivate an environment that deliberately feeds our 5 senses infromation that we are safe. The nervous system will then instruct 5 trillion cells in your body to animate accordingly. Improving executive function, opening up imagination, creative problem solving, all the stuff we need to be excellent at life.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ROSEANNE REILLY Roseanne Reilly LinkedIn >  HandsofTimeHealing.com  R.I.S.E. by Roseanne: her Flagship Self-Directed Program for $97 USD >    ABOUT SHANNON EASTMAN  Shannon Eastman on LinkedIn >  NeuroRituals.com  shannoneastman.com/resources   ABOUT #WTTLO?  Life after Complex-PTSD, and just beyond those first stages of recovery, is a lot like having someone turn the lights on after years navigating in the dark.  On this side of it, I reckon a lot more can be done to improve the sign posts that mark the way out.

• S3:E13 Your Inner World Directs Your Outer World Informed by Your Nervous System State

  Part 3 of a 6 Part Series, Roseanne Reilly sharing her Nervous System Informed Framework To Finding Your Way Out Of The Dark. The recap that gets us here starts with episode 1: An Introduction to the Framework and the 6 dynamic states: The Nervous System Continuum Inner World  Outer World,  Environment Knowing It Living It Episode 2 focuses on the Nervous System Continuum mapping its 4 key states: Survival Mode, Dysregulation, Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation.  And this episode...  Explores what your inner world looks like based on where you currently are within the nervous system continuum, and how that directly informs your outer world.  Roseanne puts a lot into context, including:  How the templates we make in childhood are active today. And how those templates operate using an If This, Then That predictive model leaving zero room for context, a different perspective or any room for anything else.   Kind of like having a 5 year old directing the decisions of a 40 year old. Roseanne presents a close-up look at the Inner World when you are in the redzone, survival mode - AKA Burnout, High Anxiety, and explains how that fear based state animates to inform and shape your outer world.  The Outer world is defined and unpacked to directly correlate between the experience of your day-to-day, and the fear state driving your inner world.  The critical first step in survival mode being Nervous System Restoration where survival mode is turned off permitting one to now start moving along the continuum towards self-regulation. We also get to Self-Regulation - where we find ourselves with an Inner World on stable ground, that gives rise to an outer world of poise, clarity and ease.   I add a handful of examples from my own lived experience, and find myself connecting a few more dots as we go.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ROSEANNE REILLY Roseanne Reilly LinkedIn >  HandsofTimeHealing.com  R.I.S.E. by Roseanne: her Flagship Self-Directed Program for $97 USD >    ABOUT SHANNON EASTMAN  Shannon Eastman on LinkedIn >  NeuroRituals.com  shannoneastman.com/resources   ABOUT #WTTLO?  Life after Complex-PTSD, and just beyond those first stages of recovery, is a lot like having someone turn the lights on after years navigating in the dark.  On this side of it, I reckon a lot more can be done to improve the sign posts that mark the way out.

• S3:E12 The Nervous System Continuum A critical First Piece Of The Puzzle

  Roseanne Reilly joins me for part 2 of a 6 part series sharing her framework on a Nervous System Informed approach to finding your way out of the dark. The Nervous System Continuum is covered as a critical first piece to this puzzle.  We cover why and how we can find our nervous system inside these states, and take a closer look at the two forms of Survival Mode; the one that has you locked in and requires a nervous system restoration practice to unlock, and the Survival Mode we can find ourself visiting from time to time when we are inside the new stage of meeting & greeting our felt sense of self.  When locked in survival mode is in effect, we can't move along the nervous system continuum in any sustained or elegant way. When we restore the nervous system, we can.  This episode shares a bit more detail on what life is like in the Self-Regulating phase of the continuum, what is avaialble, how life is different and more importantly, how to get there.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ROSEANNE REILLY Roseanne Reilly LinkedIn >  HandsofTimeHealing.com  R.I.S.E. by Roseanne: her Flagship Self-Directed Program for $97 USD >    ABOUT SHANNON EASTMAN  Shannon Eastman on LinkedIn >  NeuroRituals.com  shannoneastman.com/resources   ABOUT #WTTLO?  Life after Complex-PTSD, and just beyond those first stages of recovery, is a lot like having someone turn the lights on after years navigating in the dark.  On this side of it, I reckon a lot more can be done to improve the sign posts that mark the way out.

• S3:E11 Introduction to a #NervousSystemInformed Approach to Finding Your Way Out Of The Dark

  I'm all for a self-guided, DIY it till something changes kind of approach to finding your way out of the dark.  I did exactly that for the first 3.5 to 4 years years of my recovery. Actually, a friend recently pointed out that my MSc I'm doing is kind of like my version of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - she's not wrong.  But one day, by chance, I find myself in a conversation with someone who clearly articulted the pathway out of the dark for folks like me, inside 12 weeks.   I don't know if I believed her. I definitely wanted to and some part of me recognised it as true but my mind raced wondering how could it have taken me the guts of 4 years to do what she faciliates in 12 weeks.  It would be months before I could get my head around the fact that intelligence has little to do with recovery.  Roseanne Reilly, Nervous System Restoration Practitioner has signed up for a 6 part series sharing her framework to shifting your life in pretty significant ways inside 12 weeks.  We're taking it slow, keeping it small, and doing our best to ensure that Roseanne's Nervous System Informed Approach to finding your way out of the dark lands.  It won't surprise you to hear I interject, interrupt and shimmy questions as I get really present to what exactly would I have needed to hear to just get me to pause long enough to hear her out.  I've not quite found that magic place yet, but if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.  Hah!  Here's the overview we're mapping out over these 6 episodes:  A Nervous System Informed Approach has 6 dynamic parts: We are going to present all 6 parts of this framework starting what the Nervous System Continuum so that by the end, you will feel like you have a really solid introduction and a good idea of what to do next.  The 6 dynamic parts in Roseanne's Framework:  Nervous System Continuum: Survival Mode Lock In, Survival Mode when you are just visting, Dysregualtion, Coregulation.  Inner State - what is going on inside the brain body for each state along that continuum.  OuterState - what, how and why that expresses in your day-to-day the way it does.  Environment - it plays a big role. We explain why and how. And then what we do to manage our own respective spaces.  Knowing the approach - REcap wtih highlights, cheatsheets and a copy of Roseanne's FRamework as a PDF to download and keep.  Living the approach - Why this is so different to just knowing this material. How to change your life significantly in about 12 weeks, rather than the nearly 4 years it took me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ROSEANNE REILLY Roseanne Reilly LinkedIn >  HandsofTimeHealing.com  R.I.S.E. by Roseanne: her Flagship Self-Directed Program for $97 USD >    ABOUT SHANNON EASTMAN  Shannon Eastman on LinkedIn >  NeuroRituals.com  shannoneastman.com/resources   ABOUT #WTTLO?  Life after Complex-PTSD, and just beyond those first stages of recovery, is a lot like having someone turn the lights on after years navigating in the dark.  On this side of it, I reckon a lot more can be done to improve the sign posts that mark the way out.
