PTSD has its own schedule, seemingly its own power source and strong stress hormones.
A trigger can explode at any time releasing cortisol, adrenaline and Norepinephrine into our blood stream.
High anxiety ensues.
The breath has great influence on our nervous system.
Until we learn to dissipate a trigger firing, we are at PTSD’s mercy.
I use ten, slow, focused breaths to accomplish this task.
Let the storyline fade, feel where your triggers manifest in the body.
Take your breath into the middle of your body sensation.
Know your fears physical manifestations.
Mine always jolts my solar plexus.
