1366 || dysregulation as resistance

@pat.radical.therapist asks: "What if dysregulation is a form of resistance?" and "What if liberation isn't in the perfect regulation of our nervous systems but in the deep, embodied permission to exist as we are - in movement, in mess, in rage, in laughter, in all the things that were never meant to be tamed?" - Patricia

Trying to regulate our dysregulation the time, instead of really listening to it, can be counterintuitive.

Maybe it's time we stop trying to ground ourselves in unstable soil. Maybe it's time we listened to what our nervous system is saying instead of trying to battle it into submission.

"Our healing is not about being soothed into submission. It is about remembering that we are meant to feel, meant to move, meant to be alive in our fullest range." - Prentis Hemphill
