Listener question: triggers and reliving the 'unsafety'

Listener question: Life happens out of our control, yes. But trauma triggers are very real to the system, destabilising. If fight or flight is not possible, freeze can feel very dangerous. In this example being triggered at work, going into freeze can be debilitating and i can’t seem to function at work anymore, although I manage somehow. I really can’t seem to see where the healing is supposed to be in this. How can be reliving trauma responses in the body again and again be healing? If I don’t have the necessary support at work this will happen again. The confidence in my ability to hold a job is shaken (although I have been there for 8 years). The possibility of changing jobs doesn’t even come to mind.I see the utter futility of the system trying to prevent these events from happening again, yes that is madness!  But the young vulnerable part needs protection fullstop!!!Probably a protection it never experienced in its young life. I’m all up for having it all when it comes to the full gamut of emotions and I see how they ebb and flow. With this deep triggering stuff that makes me feel unsafe in my own body, I refuse to relive that again and again!I know my own resilience, I made it so far which is a miracle in itself. But im questioning where the peace, love and Freedom is in this, we talk about in this conversation so often?

Listener question : what can I do about shame?

Listener question: My question is about shame. Most nights and especially in the morning I wake up recalling situations in which I could’ve done better and about which I feel a lot of shame. Some of these situations go back decades, and some are very recent. Consequently I often do not get the rest I need and my days don’t  always start on a bright and positive note! I would like to be able to see this differently and would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you.

Listener comment: all I know to do is cry and breathe

Listener comment: Im in the midst of horrible triggered feelings. I feel uncontrollably hurt by just a trigger at work, it’s so painful. I don’t know what to do other than cry and breathe.

Listener question: are the subliminals and your teaching more advaita vedanta or Syd...?

Listener question: I am thinking of having a subliminal recording. I have only listened to a few Podcasts you have done and read your book Real.  On the basis of that information it sounds like you lean a little toward Advaita Vedanta. I find Advaita complex and cold as well as stimulating to the intellect. (Robert Spira is the best example of this for me.  The guy is brilliant but when I listen to him, I feel the need to figure out what he is saying, and I get contracted and tense).  For me, the magic of Syd Banks was his simplicity - talking about finding a good feeling rather than worrying about the vagaries of non-dual philosophies (Compare "Dear Liza" to "The Transparency of Things"). In my subliminal I would need to escape the intellectual sentries who love to get all wrapped up in "not having a self" and "self-inquiry" and rather lean toward "listening for a good feeling" and knowing that "my feeling comes from my thinking".  In your personal teaching and the subliminals, do you come from the Principles and Syd's "The Missing Link" or more from pure non-dual affirmations?

Listener question: should I do anything?

Listener question: I've just finished working through the REAL videos / course .. (not the conversations yet) .. is it normal for the .. well basically .. 'shit to hit the fan' inside ? - wont go into great details but just wondering if there is anything to 'do' ? ... it's kind of showed me just how of course i have been and how dysfunctional i have got from trying to cope for years but also the fact that everything i am running from is within ME and not out there .... like i want to be in a 'witness protection programme' from myself ... like i am both the stalker and the stalked .... its given me this massive sense that 'i cant get myself out of this alone' somehow and at the same time not sure what kind of support to seek that wont go and confuse me more e.g normal nhs type counselling options.... and does 'speaking about it all' in that kind of way EVER help us make sense of anything... and free us from basically scaring the shit out of ourself and keeping our own nervous system in a state of never ending vigilant exhaustion .. i see i've been running and running and cut myself off from every possible thing 'outiside' in the hope of finding safety only to find its 'me' whos the problem.So not quite seeing through it all far enough yet to feel the freedom and peace.

Listener question: marriage?

Listener question: how does the idea of no-self work in relation to marriage/partnership? I'm just curious. Is this also why many fail?

Listener question: what about the victims?

Listener question: In you latest podcast you spoke about violence and that it is happening as it is the optimal behaviour at the given moment due to learned belief and conditoning, that there is no deciding self and that it is logical and impersonal. I see freedom in this as it frees me of the obligation "to forgive and forget" and I love that there only remains sanity. I see that my father who was prone to violent outbursts could not act differently given that what he believed and learned in his youth.Nevertheless, one question remains: What about the position of the real victims in this, the person or even small child that has been molested and harmed perhaps even for years. Or even those locked up inconcentration camps.Sorry that my brain always goes for the extremes, but it refuses to be calm without getting the answer.
