I am excited to share a short video with you today (just under 7 mins) that’s taken from a long-form interview I recently did with one of my SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) students, Jerika.
Full interview comes out Monday, February 19!! In this short clip, she speaks about:
All the “weird” things that start to happen with a healthier nervous system
What the completion of flee survival response can look like
Transmuting repressed anger into healthy aggression
Currently, there’s a bit of a “wild west” situation going on in the somatic and trauma healing worlds, and her story* will be a MUST listen to if you are considering doing any manual vagus nerve stimulation work as a way to fast track your healing.
*Check out this powerful ‘teaser’ and make sure you’re subscribed to my email list and/or my RU-vid channel with notifications turned ON so you don’t miss the full interview next week.

Chills listening. This is profound, humanity-changing work. Thank you for all you do, Irene.

I really appreciate the advanced level of these interview videos. There are so many of us now who have been learning about trauma for years and we need more than just a basic explanation of how it can affect your life or simple breathing techniques to calm our nervous system. We need to hear about what to do AFTER we calm down. How to get past coping to deep healing. We need to hear people’s experiences like this that give us hope for change!

Listening to the first couple of sensences from Jerika, I had the image to post what I experience as snarling, gnashing my teeth and growling like a wolf, this is the image that comes everytime it happens, usually when I will repeatedly tap using the tips of my fingers on and around my head, face and chest area to release stuck energy and pain following my body's impulse to do so. I feel underneath anger, defensiveness mixed with a sense of something that wishes i was that wolf during trauma as a child and still today as an adult to defend myself against others. A couple of minutes in Jerika spoke of her experience of this so I had to share mine. This is what I love about this work, it shows so many things up that are inside of us and interprets them in a way that makes sense from our own individual stories. Thank you both 🙏

Such a good differentiation between just experiencing a short lived "state change" and the process of growing capacity and letting incomplete survival responses complete. Thank you Irene, looking forward to the full form interview. I've been on the SBSM journey for 6 years and are still growing capacity daily while being with and following impulses, allowing incomplete survival responses to come up and show themselves, paying attention to, witnessing, allowing, nurturing and showing it compassion when it does.

As I was just reaching a tipping point and beginning to feel & want to express anger, I had a facilitator at a self help retreat tell me that anger was the cheap emotion & what was really underneath my anger was sadness. Basically saying, I was prolonging “my healing” by feeling anger. Anger was never a safe emotion for me to have. And I allowed that one dumb comment to send me back to a frozen state for years. Later, that same person that said this to me… took his own life. I truly feel sad for him. I think he took his own advice. And I no longer feel frozen over anger is better. I feel anger allows you to move when you’re in a frozen state.

@HaDatWicht 8 месяцев назад

That must've been hard! That unthoughtful comment came exactly at the wrong time and threw you off when you still felt so vulnerable about anger. Good on you for welcoming your anger now! I also feel anger helps to move out of a frozen state, it makes me feel more alive. It can be too overwhelming even, I'm still learning to process it. What this man said might apply to some people who have always been easily angry at everything and everyone to avoid being vulnerable. (But even then, the anger is not "bad", as it provides protection that was probably very necessary, and it does need to be heard and understood) This is such a different situation for all people like you (and me) unable to feel or express anger and remaining numb/frozen instead, because anger has always been an unsafe emotion. A very different mechanism, we sure need a healthy, generous portion of anger!

Hi, Sophia with Team Lyon here. Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear about that. Here is what Irene has previously said about anger: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3PyydXbP4tA.html , ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RljnDLOJwd8.html , ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-66Wm_hQEs3o.html . Hope this helps

I'm just realising that I've been organically releasing small amounts of anger and didn't even know it! I've been doing 21 Day NS tune-up for about 3 months now and I'm currently on day 12. I've gained so much awareness in these months about how much stuff I have to process and I FEEL I haven't even started yet! I'm just gaining capacity and processing things a little bit better at the present moment, not being so stuck in my street response, I would say. I always could not express anger, I suppressed it all and this ended in a depression at 28 years old, which I'm now "medically" free of. I feel so happy right now that I respected my recent impulses to do more sounds like screaming, growling and doing like a "mad body pose" expression like toddlers do which feels both silly and good to do,. Although I also still feel shame while doing it, I do it anyway and it feels good! And the shame is becoming less and less to express myself through my voice, whether it be in talking to friends or family, speaking up for myself in a confrontation or singing. I had a friend who I always admired for her assertiveness who told me I was so much better at speaking up! Thank you Irene and thank you Jerika! Today, you made my day very happy by sharing your story and it made me feel the impulse to share mine! 😄

Thank you for such a beautiful and educational video. I did the 21 day nervous system Tune Up about a yera ago. However, I feel that I could not do it with a lot of awareness. I guess what I am trying to explain is that I did not know what to do after I finished and I had some "energy wells" opened afterwards and it scared me so much that I had to stop everything else that I was doing. I took a long break. I had some stage' changes, and now I realize, thanks to this video that what I have been missing is also "integration". Do you have another video where you go deeper into "integration". Your videos are so worth and I hope one day close I will be in the SmarBody SmartMind. Thank you and much blessings for you, your family, your team and all the people that are doing this beautiful work.

Jerika thank you for sharing, I have experienced my legs running in bed also. I’ve been doing the 21 Day Tune Up and working with a SE practitioner. This work is so important.❤

@the.kai.eros.experience 4 месяца назад

Could you clarify more on your definition of integration? Is it essentially that the agency & life force energy that was previously stuck is now brought into our everyday life? Rather than just a “peak experience” and going back to the same?

@IreneLyon 3 месяца назад

Hello, Sophia here from Team Lyon. Thank you for your comment and question. Here is a great blog of Irene explaining the concept of integration irenelyon.com/2024/07/11/a-simple-visual-story-to-explain-integration/

@SavannahE1972 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful share. (And you are a joy to look at Jerika! You're such a radiant beauty!) This share helped me already to understand the word 'integration'. Looking forward to the whole interview!

@santisanti8386 8 месяцев назад

This happens to me and I don't feel it as something positive, why? It feels like I will be angry my whole life, it feels like a loop.

@TheSadieFables 8 месяцев назад

I used to be like that, getting a somatic therapist transformed that for me

@mellovesjesuss 8 месяцев назад

You make these loops with your thought process, the more you focus on your body it comes up naturally!

@HaDatWicht 8 месяцев назад

I feel you, it can be so hard and seem endless. For me, somatic therapy and trauma-informed yoga (Hannah Uiri has a great channel for it on youtube) help to find an anchor within these overwhelming emotions. It is such hard work and the repeated waves of suffocating emotions are definetely very hard, it takes so much time and energy to process everything! It also takes small steps, it can't be done all in one go, our system couldn't take that. So if I can recommend anything: try to be patient and kind with yourself, and find help. It can also be small things, places and/or people that make you feel (a bit) more safe, relaxed and/or connected are so valuable :-) And remind yourself that you're doing so well for allowing these emotions to be felt!

@katiegreenwood8738 8 месяцев назад

What they are describing is when the feeling of anger has been suppressed in the system maybe due to fear and the somatic work she has been doing is allowing that stored stress to release because the system now feels safe to. Your system depending on your nature will have a natural stress response, fight, flight, freeze, fawn. My natural stress response is to freeze and fawn as that aligns with my nature. I suppressed anger as a child, as the unhealthy expression of anger was modelled to me in childhood. What they are showing is, after doing this somatic work, how it would release in the system of someone that suppressed it. My daughter’s natural stress response is fight as that aligns with her nature of being a ‘determined’ child. Does this sound similar to your experience? It might be worth a look at Irene’s videos of the fight response. This work is about bringing more balance into the system so that you aren’t on the edge of that natural stress response more than is healthy. 💖

@Tina-zz5kt 8 месяцев назад

Do you have a (somatic) therapist who is able to meet your anger and help you release it? I used to loop a lot too until I found my current therapist who allows me to feel and express my anger not only within my own bubble but also direct it towards her as a substitute for the parental figure I would have needed. She connects to my feelings with understanding and compassion and then they will transform. This needs loads of repetitions for me as there are so many unlived emotions stored in my body but I can feel the weight getting lighter
