086: The Planned Collapse

I know I'd prefer a softer landing. How about you? Play Episode 86
Here Some of our clients have been "going, going, going" and are
going to continue doing so until they "collapse." When we can see
that coming it's often worth introducing the idea of planning or
preparing a time when they can permit themselves to "not do more"
but instead allow their bodies to try to rest and restore a little.
Obviously not a solution to overarching activation, unsustainable
lifestyle choices or classic nervous system disregulation, the
"planned collapse" can help soften the challenge of an exhuastion
that threatens to make things worse. Toward the end of this episode
I role-play an introduction to offering these ideas to a client:
complete with mitigating language, preempting the Red Vortex,
menuing, and titrating toward the Yes - any of which might be cut
out when they're unnecessary due to a client's relative interest or
resiliency. These are all communication issues that I cover indepth
in Twig's Guide to the SE Language. Mentions:Although I flail when
trying to remember Marjorie Shostack's name in this episode, her
book Nisa is a classic ethnographic exploration and well worth
checking out sometime. Here's a cliff note style review.
