So incredibly wise and spot on! Thank you, Jack Adam Weber. This heartfelt wisdom is deeply needed. And it certainly is not easy to increasingly grow into a fully embodied human being. May courage and commitment to our journeys of the heart be contagious. 🙏💗 Molly
An excerpt from the new book-in-the-works:
Trauma is baked into being human. Apart from acute traumatic experiences such as a car accident or losing a loved one, most everyone has suffered some degree of childhood trauma. Healing these core love wounds by releasing their pain in the presence of love can regenerate your life and allow you to live into the fullness of who you are.
Most, however, never discover their past, much less tend to its wounds. This is often due to a lack a knowledge, resources, resolve, or other impediment. Even those with resources and resolve may never discover how to do this inner work.
The Deep Work is not therefore not just about healing trauma. It’s about blossoming your whole life. It’s also much more than regulating your nervous system. While nervous system regulation is a marker of balance and health, it doesn’t mean you’ve healed your trauma. Plenty of people walk around "perfectly regulated," while sitting on massive, unresolved trauma. Nervous system regulation, such as through body-mind practices and meditation, can actually hide trauma, unless one leverages them to go deeper, into their pain body.
The Deep Work is therefore about cultivating and then leveraging a regulated nervous system to journey into the hidden, forgotten parts of us that are dysregulated and still traumatized. We rely on the stability and compassion of our adult selves, supported by trusted and loving others, to embrace the parts of us that feel anything but stable and loved. It’s about meeting the unlived life inside us, that is frozen in time, and walking through it—through all the terror and grief—to become a more joyous and passionate, wise and caring, whole and integrated human being.
