The 4 Rooms

The 4 Rooms is a simple map developed by me, Sonia Ogier, for noticing where your nervous system is at any given moment.

  • Room 1 is resting, digesting, at ease.

  • Room 2 is energised, alive, full of yes.

  • Room 3 is activated, alarmed, braced for trouble.

  • Room 4 is collapsed, heavy, shut down.

No room is bad. Each one has a job your body took on for good reason, and you can spend years living in a room without knowing you're in it.

Learning to tell which room you're in is the first step in being able to come out of fight, flight, or freeze.

This framework is in development.

More to come!
