Do you know that we have the ability to PACK and STORE stress in our bodies? Where do you store stress and why can't you let it go? I will give an example of a client who got rid of her specific stress in one session by finding where she stored it in her body and letting it leave. stress is essentially an energy resource evolutionary developed. When we need energy, the brain activates stress response centers, the body is activated to mobilize us for an activity. Any stress needs to be short-term. Only because It’s an expensive energy solution for our system. We have a demand for energy for something, Our bodies come up with a supply. We humans misuse this stress energy a lot. We misunderstand this energy of stress. Most important we are very proficient at trapping this energy. Staying in stress for a long time makes stress chronic and toxic. https://www.tanyatchirkova.com.au/

If you find yourself experiencing an ABNORMAL stress reaction in a NORMAL situation it can be a sign of ALLOSTATIC OVERLOAD. This overload can happen if you survived a long-term stress exposure.

Allostasis is a system in our body that helps us go into homeostasis, and find stability and regulation after dysregulation and stress.

This system works on 3 main principles. Understanding these principles helps us understand our body’s regulation systems better and how to start recovery from toxic stress.

What do you tell yourself when you need motivation? Are you using negativity to motivate yourself? It' not that uncommon. I have seen many clients who belittle themselves and beat themselves up into doing something. As a way to motivate themselves. Some parents use negative motivation. For example, they call a kid lazy in the hope to motivate them to exercise or take away a privilege, like not going on a short. Nothing wrong with negative motivation until you turn it into EMOTIONAL dumping. I specialize in helping clients recover from the effects of toxic stress that they developed in childhood or youth due to childhood maltreatment and emotional neglect. I support the development of emotional literacy later in life. I believe emotional learning is available to all of us. But we need to make ourselves available for this learning.  https://www.tanyatchirkova.com.au/

Children of highly reactive parents, through experience, learned certain unhealthy things about emotions.

"Emotions are dumped. Emotions are uncontrollable."

When we grow up, we live by the same emotional literacy.

We routinely dump emotions on others, or on ourselves.

You might end up being emotionally illiterate. We don’t know how to read emotions, what they do for us, or how to process emotions healthily.

We had NO learning there, as emotional literacy has to come from experience.
