Including attachment history alongside the day to day load feels important. Overwhelm rarely comes from the present moment alone, and practices that slow the body can create just enough space for deeper material to surface safely.
Absolutely, our attachment experiences are an important context intersecting with other experiences and contexts that shape our nervous system response.
Regarding the topic of the article, I found it really smart how you included attachment wounds from childhood as part of invisible burden; I'm curious if your SPACE practis offers specific tools to address that deeper layer of stress alongside the immediate overwhelm.
Thanks for your message. My SPACE practice could be used to soothe reactivity linked to childhood trauma. With step no 6, instead of naming it as a 'stress reaction' it might fit better to name it as a 'trauma reaction'. Different tools and practices for grounding and self-soothing will work for different people, depending on the context. If of interest I teach a whole range of these in my self-paced course.
