My Social Media Pause
Recently I decided to take a little break off social media. All Social Media.
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn… the lot.
Why, you ask?
Because I was sick of the funk I had found myself in. The endless, mindless scrolling, not even realising I had succumbed to the habit until I was already 30minutes deep and stuck in the void of reels. Plus the pressure to be better at posting myself, especially from a business perspective. I had lost all creativity, motivation and enjoyment from using these apps and felt like a pause would be beneficial, if for no other reason than to stop me wasting time in the “un-real” world trapped in my screen.
My First Session in Somatic Experiencing
She asked me to explain what had brought me to her, other than it being a freebie… and even went as deep as to ask me what my childhood was like. I was intrigued if my answers would inform the session drastically or if it was just useful to know in terms of knowing what my body and I have been through. She explained it would start of feeling similar to meditation, of which I am familiar, but that we would be conversing throughout.
