Irene Lyon — A Deep Dive into Repressed Anger, Kill Energy, Functional Freeze, Pain, Nervous System Healing and More - #28

Do you ever find yourself feeling numb, paralysed, frozen, or overwhelmed with anger? <br/><br/>You're not alone. Join me as I sit down with Irene Lyon, a top-ranked nervous system expert, as we unpack these challenging emotions together. <br/><br/>We dive into the science of "kill" energy, the fight or flight response, and shed light on societal conditioning that often restricts us from harnessing these protective mechanisms. <br/><br/>This episode is not just about navigating anger and rage; it's about understanding our bodies and minds on a deeper level. <br/><br/>Through shared experiences with Feldenkrais and Irene's background in exercise science and biomedical health science, we explore the importance of somatic practices and trauma works. <br/><br/>We also delve into how our knowledge of the human system can provide an effective healing path for people struggling with injuries. <br/><br/>Lastly, we cast an eye on the work-rest dynamic and share insights on maintaining a healthy balance. Transitioning from offline to online work, we discuss the importance of pushing boundaries and the challenges that come with it. <br/><br/>Irene also shares her experiences and lessons on differentiating accurate impulses from inaccurate ones. <br/><br/>This episode intertwines theory and practicality, providing you with transformative insights into healing your nervous system and managing anger.Connect with Irene here.<br/><br/>Time stamps:0:00 - Intro5:40 - Somatic Practices and Trauma Work18:01 - The Balance Between Pushing Through Resistance vs. Rest33:45 - Healing Your Nervous System41:08 - Managing Rage and Chemical Sensitivity57:57 - Rage and Nervous System RegulationWant to get into your body and silence your overactive mind?
