Welcome to part two of our chat with Yemi Penn (PhD Researcher (Trauma Transformation), Transformation Thought Leader, TEDx Speaker, Author, Engineer, Entrepreneur, Mother & Producer!).
In part two we go deeper into the window of tolerance, intergenerational trauma and the body keeping score. Some key points include:
- the "window of tolerance", the range of emotions and experiences an individual can handle without feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. What does your window look like?
- Being "stuck" outside of one's window of tolerance, in states of hyper or hypo-arousal (fight/flight or freeze/fawn), is common but often goes unaddressed. Yemi estimates that 80 - 95% of people may operate outside their window at times.
- Intergenerational trauma is increasingly recognized, with trauma potentially passed down through 14+ generations. Reconnecting with cultural practices and wisdom can aid healing.
- Grief and trauma responses are highly individualised, yet Western society often lacks the rituals and collective support to process them healthfully. Exploring practices from other cultures can provide guidance.
- Using the voice (singing, humming) and body (movement, dance), stimulating the vagus nerve, can be powerful ways to self-regulate and return to one's window of tolerance when feeling dysregulated.
