As a trauma therapist, the biggest dread of mine is being to blame for producing trauma for the kitty of mine. I hate trauma which is why I heal it as a living. What I observed these days, however, is the fact that when the central nervous system is adapting appropriately, it is not so dangerous.

My kitty was a rescue. She was six months old when I followed her. When I met her she had a large cone on the head of her. I mentioned the rod tangled in the leg of her to keep her bone set straight and wondered how I would actually nurse her back to health. I was told that she’d been struck by a car and also the rod was setting the bone until she was prepared for surgery. I did nurse her back to health.

By the ten year adventure of ours, I have pointed out that I am not allowed to go any where near her when injured leg. If I move toward it, I watch her tense up and bang her tail furiously like to say “Stay away from there!” I know she is not in pain. Strangely enough, however, she clearly hasn’t forgotten the trauma from her when broken leg. This proves the idea that body remembers and does not forget physical or emotional stress.

Now was a dreaded adventure. My kitty was delivered to the bathroom. Workmen stomped into the home of mine with the loud methods of theirs and banged on the walls. The windows were being replaced. After one hour I went in to go to her. She was unusually friendly and very talkative. Interesting and cuddly she was determied to manipulate me to open the door and let her out of this unpleasant hot bathroom. I wondered if this was her vagus nerve acting up, attempting to socially engage her owner due to the horror of what was happening outside the powder room door. Beyond cuddling, purring, and talking, I knew she was getting ready to make a fast get away once that door was opened. She was getting ready to flight. I could feel her heart beating furiously. Thinking about ways to regulate the vagus nerve, I began to hum to her. This seemed to assist and she resigned to patiently waiting behind the door. As soon as I opened the door to let her out she little by little settled into the situation, ears pinned, eyes wide open, and tail slightly down. Then a large bang and also more quickly than a speeding bullet she shot off under the bed.

Applying Porges Poly Vagal theory of fight/ flight/freeze, seeing my kitty with this lense is rather interesting. Operating under the bed to safety was quite effective to the nervous system of her. Minutes later when the chaotic sounds passed she was sitting by the air conditioning very content. As I watched her, Diabetes Protocol eBook, just click the up coming article, I thought, huh, right now that is a normal adaptive nervous system. Allowed to follow through on the instinct to flight and then being ready to control the environment of her by camouflaging underneath the bed where it was safe in fact diminished any after effects of locked trauma in the nervous system of her since she’d the flexibility to experience flight – ing without being stopped, assaulted, or trapped. It was unnecessary to fight and chance becoming injured and unnecessary to immobilize (freeze). Humans can learn a lot from simply observing the pets of theirs nervous system.

More to the point, my kitty’s pre frontal cortex is not getting in the manner of having some feeling that is necessary for her to orient her nervous system again to the baseline. She isn’t likely to intellectualize the upsetting experience. She isn’t; about to talk herself using what she experienced, or perhaps argue the intuition of her, thus ending up with a throbbing headache, gut problems, as well as dissociative episodes. She just experiences whatever her instincts tell her to do. The effect is a happy information kitty sitting with ease by the air conditioner, about 5 minutes, after the traumatic episode.
