Adaptation to Stress: It’s Not Your Friend
The first step is admitting you have a problem.
We are amazing creatures that can adapt to almost any situation. We adapt to war. We come home with PTSD but we adapt to war. So think of the smaller wars we fight within ourselves and those around us every day.
Don’t we need some help getting ourselves “back to normal” after a particularly stressful period in our lives? Maybe you’ve suffered a loss and feel nothing will ever be normal again. Maybe you’re in so much pain emotionally that you’ve shut down or perhaps you manage kids, work, husband and you and it’s time to clear out some stress.
Every person that I’ve spoken to that has gone through a trauma said: “I was in survival mode”. Survival mode is just another word for stress.
Although this is the body doing its thing of adapting to a situation, it’s also not appropriate over the long term.
Stress/survival mode + time= unhappy camper
The truth is we often don’t notice our state when were in it. We carry on as we always do. It’s our nature to get on with life. It’s survival.
Is survival mode really the best way for us to get all that we want in this life? Think back to a really productive day at work/home. Was it a day you were really stressed or were you in that sweet spot where you were aware and relaxed at the same time?
I’ve spent my whole like searching for ways to heal on all levels. I’ve spent a small fortune on this endeavor and I’ve finally found something that can help you heal on all levels pretty darn quickly I might add.
Trame Vibrational Therapy works and I want to spread the word so people can stop feeling the way they do unnecessarily.
It’s for the people that are stuck and want to move forward in their lives.
It helps you heal from old emotional wounds, beliefs and traumas like I’ve never seen.
I know someone who has to live apart from his two kids. It is heart wrenching but the situation is so complex that he can only see them once a year. This man was as we spiritual types like to call a “non-believer”. He believes that he can manage the stresses in his life and that he will, in time, let it all go and feel better. What a great belief but why not get some help in letting that heavy stuff go?
After one Trame session this tattoo clad man was a believer. He didn’t miss his kids any less but he accepted that he wouldn’t be able to be there for them physically but that he would be there for them in other ways.
As I always say: You don’t know how good you can feel until you feel that good again. The reality is that we forget. We adapt.
I encourage you to take a snapshot of your life and see if you want to improve upon it.
Adaptation to stress is great over the short term, but it will mess with your life over the long term. Don’t let it.
