Abby Vernon, Trauma-trained Somatic Coach

For so many over-functioning women with a trauma history, rest feels anything BUT restful at first 😵‍💫

It actually tends to feel threatening 😬

Your body’s so used to urgency, tracking, fixing, planning, scanning, and holding everything together that the moment you stop, your nervous system sounds the alarm:

🚨 “What the hell are we doing?”
🚨 “Are we behind?”
🚨 “What if we forget/lose momentum/get left behind/never start again?” 😭

This is why TINY pockets of rest matter so much!

So you can be the best scientist of your own life and gather evidence.

Try this:

Set a timer for 3–5 minutes.

✨Lie down
✨Hold your coffee
✨Look out the window
✨Let your body be unproductive on purpose

Then (this is the most important part) ASK:

👉🏼 Did I still exist after 5 minutes of nothing?

👉🏼 Did everything fall apart?

👉🏼 Did I spontaneously combust?

Or

👉🏼 Did I pause… and come back?

This is how we integrate nervous system work into your real life ❤️

Inside Y.E.S., we practice the body-based shifts that help you stop relying on urgency to feel safe, so rest, boundaries, clarity, and self-trust can become part of your day-to-day life 🔥

Your body needs more than insight, she needs a different somatic EXPERIENCE ❤️

This is where reparenting comes in, how self-trust gets built and you can ultimately become the competent protector you always needed 🫂
