The Intersection of Privilege & Regulation

There is inherent privilege in not needing to be hypervigilant. In co-regulating. In a settled nervous system.

So while yes, practitioners can offer supportive tools for regulating the nervous system... this offering is incomplete without addressing, naming, and transforming systemic oppression.

Shaking is great, and can one shake their way out of oppression? Somatic experiencing is great, and can one voo their way out of anti-Black racism? Bodywork is great, and can one receive their way out of a nervous system that constantly receives threats to its very existence?

May this be at the forefront for all practitioners. May practitioners not only empower folx with tools for nervous system regulation, but work individually and collectively for a world in which less tools are needed.
