Agency is the technical term. for the feeling of being in Charge
Of your life:
knowing where you stand
knowing that you have a say in what happens to you.
knowing that you have some ability in
Shaping your Circumstances.
Agency Strts worth What Scientists Call -
Interoception - Our Awareness of Subtle Sensory, Body-based feelings -
The greater the awareness, the greater the potential
to control our lives.
knowing what we feel - is the first step to knowing why we feel this way
If we are aware of the constant Changes in our
Inner and outer environment, we can mobilize to manage them .
But we can't do that Unless our Watchtower (medial pre-frontal cortex)
Learns to observe what is going on inside us!
This is why mindfulness practice which strengthens the MPFC
is a cornerstone of recovery from trauma!
