My daughter was born at the start of COVID when stress was high and I was having career uncertainty. I remember I freaked out when she was born, and recently through SBSM, I realized how this moment was kind of a stored survival stress that made me see parenting as scary and overwhelming. Any tips on how to work on fully releasing that so I can shift my relationship with parenting? I recently started tapping into the joy of parenting after those insights, and I want to experience this fully.

I seem to be attaching stories to some somatic experiences as I go through SBSM. Can’t tell what’s accurate or conflated. Some stuff isn’t clear and feels like guesswork. For example, a family member sexually abusing me when I was young. I don’t think this actually happened, or maybe I don’t want it to be true. Recently when activated, I saw a vision of me being dragged by the arms along the ground and had a feeling this was past life stuff. Could I be putting unhelpful mind narratives on things?
“Is there anything specific I can do for tightness in my neck that keeps occurring with constriction only on the right side? It occurred a couple of minutes into the kidney practice today, followed by a sense of panic rising. I paused, oriented, shifted attention between my neck and safety in my body.”
And there can be a physical thing, like physical injuries. Someone asked about, they started doing orienting with the neck for a few days. And then started to get severe pain in the neck and arms, and thoughts of having a slipped disc again.
