Sensing Ground: Beyond Symptoms and Navigating Bodily Sensations

Joey Remenyi from Seeking Balance International talks with Gretchen Gavero, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist based in Hawaii. We talk about the importance of honouring our body and the pull inwards to feel our deep darkness, even when this takes us to very low places. We talk about how to move through, what skills we need to understand our bodily intelligence and how to use our body as a compass: what is the gift and wisdom behind the pain. We touch up on reciprocity, interconnectedness and the way we shape the world through our thoughts, words and actions. We are always being influenced and taking information in from the world around us; it is equally important to empty ourselves of the information that does not belong to us. To return to our own sense of internal safety, connection and belonging as a way of life.

Joey answers this question: "Is hypersensitivity a type of neurodivergence? Any specific recommendations for highly sensitive people dealing with Tinnitus and other NQR sensations?" Yes, high sensitivity can be considered a divergence from what is typically experienced neurologically. It can be thought of as increased neural loading, more physiological activity that the body needs to work through and digest. Learning to understand your brain, your body and your bodymind is key to harnessing the gift of sensitivity without burning out. -- 3 WAYS TO GET STARTED ON YOUR HEALING JOURNEY: 👉 Download our FREE Gentle Relief Starter Kit: starterkit.securechkout.com 👉 Try our 7 Days of Support Program: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/7-days-of-support/ 👉 Start our full ROCK STEADY program for healing vertigo and tinnitus: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/rocksteady/ – I’m Joey Remenyi, a vestibular audiologist, neuroplasticity therapist, author and the Founder of Seeking Balance International.

Joey answers this question: "Often I hear that we are told to listen to what our sensations have to tell us. But I also hear that we shouldn't focus on it and shift our attention. This seems contradictory to me and I'm not sure how to proceed." There is nuance behind trying to get rid of symptoms and genuinely trusting the sensations of the body and following the wisdom that they offer us as we navigate both our inner world and the outer world that we live in. Our body acts like the filter between our inner life and the outer world, it knows what we need to be nourished. -- 3 WAYS TO GET STARTED ON YOUR HEALING JOURNEY: 👉 Download our FREE Gentle Relief Starter Kit: starterkit.securechkout.com 👉 Try our 7 Days of Support Program: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/7-days-of-support/ 👉 Start our full ROCK STEADY program for healing vertigo and tinnitus: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/rocksteady/ – I’m Joey Remenyi, a vestibular audiologist, neuroplasticity therapist, author and the Founder of Seeking Balance International.

Joey answers this question: "Does listening to the body mean listening to our unwanted sensations as well? Can the focus on it be a positive one?" Yes, consciously connecting to our inner world without judgement, is an essential part of reorganising neural maps and rebuilding your new normal. We cannot distract or numb ourselves through this process, we need to fully experience all it, just as it is, just as we are. -- 3 WAYS TO GET STARTED ON YOUR HEALING JOURNEY: 👉 Download our FREE Gentle Relief Starter Kit: starterkit.securechkout.com 👉 Try our 7 Days of Support Program: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/7-days-of-support/ 👉 Start our full ROCK STEADY program for healing vertigo and tinnitus: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/rocksteady/ – I’m Joey Remenyi, a vestibular audiologist, neuroplasticity therapist, author and the Founder of Seeking Balance International.

Joey Remenyi from Seeking Balance International talks about dizziness and vertigo. Our balance is mapped with our visual system, proprioceptive (orientation and touch) system and our vestibular (inner ear balance) system. During dizziness or vertigo we have a sensory mismatch between our ears and other systems. To overcome this and build new balance pathways we need to use our proprioceptive system and strengthen our capacity for felt-sense, touch, self-location and orientation. This is done through body scanning in various way throughout daily life. -- 3 WAYS TO GET STARTED ON YOUR HEALING JOURNEY: 👉 Download our FREE Gentle Relief Starter Kit: starterkit.securechkout.com 👉 Try our 7 Days of Support Program: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/7-days-of-support/ 👉 Start our full ROCK STEADY program for healing vertigo and tinnitus: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/rocksteady/ – I’m Joey Remenyi, a vestibular audiologist, neuroplasticity therapist, author and the Founder of Seeking Balance International.

Joey talks about how the ROCK STEADY skills and way of life translate into parenting for neurodivergent and neurocomplex households. She talks about the importance of bringing the body along as we parent our kids. How do we keep them in their body, aware of their own neural differences and advocating for their own needs from a young age? Joey talks about emotional expression, moving big energy, validating fears and supporting vivid imagination as well as navigating daily rituals and routine by attuning to each family member's body. Can we let the nervous systems do the talking and enter non-verbal spaces to support each other? Sometimes, exact-knowing and words are not what we need.

Joey Remenyi from Seeking Balance International talks about understanding the wisdom within our bodies as we move through symptoms and persistent sensations.

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
