Collapse Resilience Group

You’ve heard about nervous system regulation, which is how we can feel ok. Be OK. In spite of what has happened in your past and what is happening in your present.

But nothing feels OK right now.

Two Sets of Words:

War. Oil shortages. Persecution. Concentration camps. Oligarchy. Fascism. Pandemic. El Niño. AMOC collapse. Climate collapse. Ecosystem collapse.

Friends. Family. Birthdays. Weddings. Births. Work. Career. Meals. Housework. Rest. Vacation. Relationship. Nourishment. Happiness. Joy. Love. Aliveness.

How do we balance the two sets of words in this present?

Here’s your invitation to find another way to exist in this overwhelming world.

Together. Guided by years’ worth of skill and holding.

Through balance and the determination to make time for something else.

This group is about embodied skill building, social engagement, and cultivating nervous system resilience.

My filter is more inclined to notice the good things as part of the fabric rather than as an anomaly. And I have gotten better at noticing when I'm close to overwhelm and stopping instead of going off into dissociation.

I can now go looking for information about what is happening, instead of ignoring all of it.

I am looking at full articles instead of just headlines, and talking about it with my significant other. Also, my head is in the sand more, but I'm not spending as much energy shaming myself for it. Because I know it will trip the circuit breaker, and then I won't be able to do anything.

Skills that make it easier to stay present with collapse:

Noticing body sensations and nervous system state while talking about hard topics
Learning the signs that your system needs a break
Speaking up, asking for what you need (“This is feeling really hard, can we take a minute?”)
Teaching your body what safe community can feel like, and how to turn towards others for support
Practicing techniques to bring your nervous system back to equilibrium
Widening your awareness to take in the positive as part of the whole picture
As you grow your toolbox and what I call your “zone of confidence,” you’ll start noticing that it’s easier to face all kinds of challenges, from personal relationships to structural problems.
