Guilt and shame can be hugely toxic for your mental health and nervous system - but they’re not the same! Understanding the difference and their route courses is a HUGE step in overcoming both of them and freeing yourself from their grip 👊🏽
.
I’ve been learning more about shame and guilt on the master trauma training course by @nicabm_ Here is a really helpful infographic to explain the difference.
COLLARBONE BREATHING
Collarbone breathing is an INCREDIBLE tool for relaxing your nervous system - quickly reducing stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Watch this video and i'll guide you through. You can do this where you breathe in fully rather than half way but i've seen people do it a few different ways and really like the breath going in gradually - do what feels right for you!
During the Collarbone Breathing Exercise, keep your elbows and arms away from your body. The exercise uses your knuckles and fingertips; these should be the only parts of your arm that touch your body.
With the first 2 fingers of your dominant hand, tap the Gamut point (in the groove in the bones that anchor the last two fingers) continuously while you perform the following 4 breathing exercises.
1. Breathe half way in and hold your breath for 7 taps.
2. Breathe fully in and hold your breath for 7 taps.
3. Breathe half way out and hold your breath for 7 taps.
4. Breathe fully out for as long as you can while tapping
Then place the first two fingertips of your dominant hand on your non-dominant side's Collarbone point and, while tapping the Gamut point continuously, perform the same 4 breathing exercises.
Bend the fingers of your dominant hand so that the knuckles of the 2nd joint stick out. Place them on your dominant side Collarbone point and tap the Gamut point continuously while doing the 4 breathing exercises. Repeat this after placing the knuckles of your dominant hand on the Collarbone point of your non-dominant side.
You are now halfway through the Collarbone Breathing Exercise. Repeat the same procedure starting with your non-dominant side.
Let me know if you guys like this one :)
