It’s my third round of SBSM, and now I’m in a state where I just want to be left alone. I don’t want to play with the kids, or do anything with them. I feel so annoyed and irritated. It’s like I’m a child myself with this behavior. I’m finding it hard to change how I feel and act. Any ideas what to especially work with, which lesson?

I often experience overwhelming grief, shame, shutdown, or experience a feeling in the center of my chest like a vice grip clamping down in mid-conversation, and or in social situations.

I have an extensive amount of dental trauma starting at age two. I now have a good dentist and a hygienist, but my mouth still feels like a war zone. And anyone doing work in my mouth feels incredibly violating. I had a cleaning last week and I can still feel the excess tension I’m carrying in my head, neck, and face from that experience. Do you have any suggestions on how I can release the survival stress after dental work or reduce the activation during procedures?
In today’s call, Irene gives the example of stubbing her toe and how to work through that in body orienting. Can you please give an example of something happening more emotional than physical and how to work through that in the body? For example, getting into an argument with a spouse or other family member. I feel very triggered by things my spouse says or does, and I know it’s because of my dysregulated nervous system, so I’d like some tips on how to recognize that and release the ball from the pool.
