I chose to pass out

Can you pass out on que? Be ecstatically happy for no reason? Amused by nothing? No, of course not. We put ourselves in situations to elicit these reactions out of us. Turning the lights off and getting under the covers, go on a vacation with friends, Doom Scroll. The same is true for healing. Healing when the body demolishes damaged areas, rebuilds them, and processes (makes sense of what happened). Those are energy intensive endeavors and if we’re in a high sympathetic state the boy will simply say not now we're busy surviving. When we do things that put us into a healing (parasympathetic state) it can get to work. Important note when our body enters this mode it takes that extra space, needing extra sleep, memories coming up, or a detox response can happen. The healthy feeling, energy, and clarity on the other end is worth it every time.
