#jogja @eastparchotel gorgeous breakfast- fruit and custard croissant, mini tuna sandwich, croissant with butter and jam, strawberry cup, cafe latte made to perfection. All the food is melt in your mouth and tastes beautiful. Choosing something different this morning set off the internal alarm system but I persevered and will choose something different tomorrow morning to keep the central nervous experiencing that I am safe and I can manage different scenarios. We would never think that choosing different food for breakfast could set off our internal alarm system. As I sat eating I was aware of the gentle overheating, the slow perspiration of the anxiety and I also chose to feel good, to feel excited despite what my internal wiring was processing. For me that’s the good part. We can feel both anxious and excited 😊 I will win the battle 😎 and I know you will too! #complextrauma #complexptsd #thebodykeepsthescore #anxiety #depression #theacademyforcomplextrauma #recoverytoremission https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GZyLonFYK/?igshid=fsv58hqf4pgh

The Fawn response is the least talked about Trauma response developed through Childhood Developmental Trauma, resulting in Complex Ptsd.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Tomorrow morning we’re going to look at what the outcomes are that appear in our day to day life, so we can recognise and begin to change our responses to align with our Authentic Self.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#theacademyforcomplextrauma #thesoullady #emotionalneglect #emotionalabuse #thebodykeepsthescore #complexptsd #complextrauma #anxiety #depression #abandonment_issues #authenticself https://www.instagram.com/p/B4MgXh9HJ0V/?igshid=1imxrc19n6cjj

5am and the gym car park is full. I love spring! Fb live this morning we’ll be covering survival brain and learning brain to help us identify when we’re in each one or moving between both. #theacademyforcomplextrauma #thesoullady #emotionalneglect #emotionalabuse #thebodykeepsthescore #complexptsd #complextrauma #anxiety #depression #abandonment_issues #authenticself https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LMrGoncMM/?igshid=hius7g6e4gi1

Real & Raw: After yesterday’s gym session I slept again. What I’m discovering is each time I go through new, safe experiences my entire nervous system needs time to process all the information. However, if I can do the work to come off survival brain and return to learning brain the need to sleep is reduced. Yesterday’s minimal exercise of 15 minutes was enough for me to sleep 5 hours last night and wake up feeling good. Albeit it at 3am 😂 What I noticed was the minute I tried to use the good feelings to get out of bed and to gym was the response of the survival brain. Literally emotional energy driving thoughts of don’t go. I was shocked. Talk about my internal system trying to sabotage me. It’s like “no, don’t go, stay safe at home.” And it’s powerful. Only because I’m aware that the only way back to learning brain is movement was I able to move myself out of bed and get going. At gym I was thinking of everyone who gets stuck in survival brain and can’t move out of bed. That’s ok, but start moving your body in bed. We literally need the movement to get our brain out of survival mode. Another couple of days and I’ll be predominantly in learning brain again and able to have my day in a logical sequence. I’m looking forward to it! #theacademyforcomplextrauma #thesoullady #emotionalneglect #emotionalabuse #thebodykeepsthescore #complexptsd #complextrauma #abandonmentissues https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Iz5j0H15m/?igshid=u3qi29kdx08x

One of the best analogies I’ve come across was that fruit doesn’t appear on a tree overnight, it takes time, care, nurturing for the tree to grow and the fruit to appear.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Give time time. You’re rewiring your entire internal system to experience that you are safe as an adult. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#togetherwecan #complextrauma #complexptsd #abandonmenttrauma #abandonmentrecovery #thebodykeepsthescore #theacademyforcomplextrauma #anxiety #depression https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-mlKQnN-7/?igshid=1hrko186jujrn

One thing I’m going to miss at home is the beautiful, freshly squeezed apple juice! Everywhere we’ve been it’s tasted divine. See the small shot like glass? That’s liquid sugar in case you don’t like the real, raw taste of the juice. I only put a tiny amount in, probably maximum a third of the shot glass, as it’s enough to enhance the flavour but not over power it. Most people I’ve seen just use the whole lot. This is the first time I’ve used a metal straw and it’s quite different, especially as it’s cold. I love it! #meliamakassar #family #complextrauma #complexptsd #anxiety #depression #thebodykeepsthescore #theacademyforcomplextrauma #thesoullady #abandonmenttrauma https://www.instagram.com/p/B3WT67En3u_/?igshid=1orcia9yn50gu

Update: We’ve arrived in Makassar overnight. This is the view from the hotel window, we’re on the 17th floor. The mosque on the right has been built on reclaimed land, like Raby Bay out where we live Bayside. It’s called the 99 Domes Mosque. We were woken sometime after 4am as literally the call to prayer goes out right across the city. It felt like it was being piped into the hotel room (but wasn’t) so they must have an incredible sound system. It was different to Jakarta and Jogja, went for longer and woke us up very gently. I had good intentions of going to gym but fell asleep again. I always find it a challenge to sleep in a new place the first night as I settle in with all the different noises. 😊😎 The temperature here is 32 degrees and nearly 50% humidity. The locals are all staying inside as it’s uncommonly hot. We’ve all had breakfast and gym is on the agenda plus meeting all the family for dinner. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I think we’re having Italian in Indonesia. All the food here has been beautiful! #family #makassar #complextrauma #complexptsd #anxiety #depression #thebodykeepsthescore #theacademyforcomplextrauma https://www.instagram.com/p/B3WTMZlnCeu/?igshid=94ec1puvbdch

We’ve arrived in Makassar, Indonesia. Just a short two hour flight from Jogja. Time to meet some more family and enjoy ourselves. #travelling #adventures #complexptsd #complextrauma #theacademyforcomplextrauma #abandonmenttrauma #thebodykeepsthescore #anxiety #depression https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Un8_QHlge/?igshid=1twbeoefi9at3

Raw & Real: So happy Today! I overcame being triggered in a familiar environment, had a nap, then organised a driver to take me around the city to get some things I needed. Winning this battle of unconscious trauma responses through bringing them to the front and having a willingness to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Back from shopping I grabbed a cafe latte and opera cake as I did forget to each lunch 🤣🤣 #complextrauma #complexptsd #thebodykeepsthescore #theacademyforcomplextrauma #anxiety #depression https://www.instagram.com/p/B3RqHINHKIB/?igshid=ar5fzv7h3bpo

Raw & Real: Sometimes a vision of the future just appears seemingly out of nowhere. This happened today as Chloe, Riki and I travelled out of the city into the mountains. Flashing in front of my eyes was a scene of me with a bunch of beautiful grandchildren, the joys of my life! And then the realisation each of these children will be raised with different spiritual backgrounds. Some will be Christian and some will be Muslim. I was speechless. How could I be entrusted with these tiny lives, respect each of their parents values and beliefs with an end result of our differences don’t matter, let’s connect purely as family who love each other. Let’s be absolutely raw and real here. Currently Christians are converting to being Muslims and Muslims are converting to being Christian. Unsure? Check out YouTube as a first go to place and you can see many stories on both sides of the coin. Also, you will see numerous stories of people choosing different faiths to their parents and how their parents reject them. Chloe has a YouTube channel where many would comment their surprise that I still loved and accepted my daughter despite her choice of faith. Seriously? You raise your children only to reject them? And you know why this happens? Ignorance, of which I’ve been guilty too. I watched Chloe turn her life around from train wreck to peace filled. I loved and accepted her decision but I still believed the rhetoric the media put out into the world. Currently, I’m in a predominantly Muslim country, meeting Muslim family and doing whatever I can to learn and understand as much as I can. And here’s what I know, what I see. If our personal experience of God is not bigger than we can imagine then it’s not God we’re focused on. It’s ourselves. If we as individuals can’t come together as a loving community then our personal understanding of God and His love isn’t that great at all. At the end of the day it will be sharing our love that matters, not our differences. #complextrauma #complexptsd #anxiety #depression #abandonmenttrauma #abandonmentrecovery #theacademyforcomplextrauma #thebodykeepsthescore https://www.instagram.com/p/B3PID_3nvXn/?igshid=9l95xw70bl2f
