Movement, Stimming & Shame: Q&A

Question: “Do you have any tips for trying to undo the shame associated with movement? Even alone with no one else about I feel embarrassed to dance and move my body to music bevause I have the internal monologue of everyone saying how ‘clunky’ I am and how ‘weird’ I look.
It breaks me out of any benefit from the movement because I struggle to detach from shame and trauma”

Thank you for this question, answered in a short video with a small demonstration on tapping into dance flow states, or as what I nicknamed “stim dancing” before I became aware about somatic movement principles.

I’d recommend @theembodylab @nicabm_ @somatopia for more resources on this form of nervous system regulation

I’d recommend watching the works of @toussainttomove @flowpriestess and @ebinumbrothers

Happy stimming & reconnection 💖
