The second I am asked to think, I lose my awareness of sensation. So sometimes you or Irene will tell us to notice our sensation, or consider if we’re inside or outside our window of tolerance, which all requires thinking, and then I lose my attention to sensation. Any suggestions? I’m so thinking-oriented that I struggle here.

Yesterday I felt, again, into the trap of using my little regained energy and pushing through things without noticing my body. At the end of the day, I felt so hyper when I tried to sit down and get in touch with my body. I felt like fleeing and looking for distractions as the sensations were so uncomfortable. Tightness in the chest, throat, heart area. Having a history of physical and emotional abuse, I noticed that is how I usually go through every single day. Any recommendations to work with that?”

Why? Why is this happening? What does it mean? What does it all mean? I’ve had a few questions come in that are sort of asking about a symptom or a sensation they were having, and the question was why is this happening? What does it mean?

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.

“Sometimes during containment, especially if it’s a trauma sensation I’m working with, I get very vivid visuals. Can you explain why? They’re not always necessarily a memory. Often, they have a more spiritual or fantasy component to them. I still feel embodied with them.”

If one is experiencing sensation of their central nervous system, would practicing the neurosensory exercises regularly help calm that hypersensitivity over time? Would you suggest any adjustments to the exercises for hypersensitive SBSM participants who feel sensations way too intensely?

“In my first few weeks of life, my mother did not produce enough milk, and I frequently passed out from starvation.” That’s intense, so yeah. Anybody, if you may notice something in your own system responding to that, just be aware, and think about your seat, and your feet, and your environment. “Now after finishing SBSM 11 last week, I realized that this may be why I’ve been a sugar addict and a binge eater for five decades.” Yes. I would say you are 100% right. “I pay attention to when the urge to binge arises and any emotional and physiological sensations as early as possible, but there’s been no shift. Are there specific neurosensory exercises I should focus on to release this unhealthy external resource?” Wow.

My lower turbinates of the nose were removed during a surgery. This sometimes leads to what is called empty nose syndrome years later where the nerves of the nose get damaged so the person can’t feel the sensation of breathing anymore. People who have ENS are always stressed and tense as they feel they are suffocating, even though the air is coming in normally. Any tips or advice on how to protect the nerves and the nerve endings of the nose from such a condition?
