Seeking Balance: Neuroplasticity for Vertigo and Tinnitus

Joey Remenyi from Seeking Balance International talks about how we are swimming in unseen data, that our bodies need to physically digest, daily. How do we digest our lived experience and make sense of the world? How do we firm up our identity and know who we are or who we are not? Why does it matter? Undigested life experience can accumulate in our bodies leading to tension patterns that feel not-quite-right and feed symptom loops. Learning to empty ourselves of other people's stories, ideas, judgments, and narratives can be a really important part of returning to wholeness, locating our centre and recovering from chronic illness.

Joey Remenyi from Seeking Balance International talks about the concept of Neurocomplexity developed by Lindsey Mackereth at Method Creative. "Neurocomplexity: the intersection of neurodivergent wiring that includes increased complexity in the areas of cognition, sensory receptivity, attention, creativity, and/or intuition. "(Mackereth, 2023) Joey talks about how this intersects with chronic symptomatology, persistent sensations and the journey toward wholeness, healing and integration. Part of recovering from 'symptoms' is making sense of who we are, how we are in relationship with the world, and what we feel in our body, moment to moment. Learning about neurodiversity and neurocomplexity is a really central part of this exploration for people who feel that life hits hard, deep, and intense. To be neurocomplex can mean to feel different, in thousands of micro ways, all day long. Learning how to best understand the unique brain-body-soul that we are born with is an essential part of learning how to heed the wisdom of our bodies and to support ourselves as way of life. This is an invitation toward sovereignty, integrity, and self-determined identity. Learn more about Lindsey and Method Creative Here: www.methodcounseling.com

Joey Remenyi talks with Caitlin Hughes and Teena Mogler, Social Workers based in Australia. Topics and themes discussed include: What is masking? Camouflaging - Strategies used to blend into our social surroundings, or present ourselves as different from who we are. Profile - Compensation — Strategies used to actively compensate for difficulties in social situations. Examples: copying body language and facial expressions. - Masking — Strategies used to hide characteristics or portray a non-autistic/ADHD persona. Examples: adjusting face and body to appear confident and/or relaxed. - Assimilation — Strategies used to try to fit in with others in social situations. Examples: Putting on an act. Pressure to conform to social norms can come from various sources like social and cultural contexts, academic settings, work environments, and personal circumstances. What is authenticity? - Acceptance of your differences is the first step towards being authentically oneself. It's about embracing your unique traits and experiences, and sharing them with the world. - Being authentic is an essential aspect of your identity and helps foster good mental health and healthy relationships with others. What are some common traps and patterns that we can find ourselves in that lead to more masking and feed a cycle of masking? - People pleasing - Perfectionism How can we gently and tenderly practice more authenticity in our lives? - Acknowledging and accepting your differences without judgement. - Surround yourself with supportive and understanding individuals who appreciate you for who you are. - Practice self-care and self-love, prioritising your own needs and boundaries. - Engage in activities that bring you joy and allow you to express yourself freely. Why does it matter (psychological and physiological harm)? - Masking can result in burnout, exhaustion, and lowered self-esteem. - Concealing one's true self can contribute to mental health problems like anxiety and depression. - Being unable to be authentic can cause a persistent feeling of discomfort, disconnection, and disorientation. - It can also lead to social isolation and difficulty forming meaningful relationships. * Learn more about Caitlin Hughes & Teena Mogler, and their podcast: Divergent Dialogues: Podcast: Divergent Dialogues https://divergentdialogues.substack.com/ Caitlin Hughes Cathartic Collaborations https://catharticcollaborations.com.au/ Social media: @cathartic.collaborations Teena Mogler Balance Centre for Mental Health https://www.balancecentreformentalhealth.com.au/ Social media: @balancecentreformentalhealth
