Naldelon is not simply a mental or emotional struggle, it is an embodied response to systemic instability, inequality, and social fragmentation.
Because this experience exists at multiple levels of human functioning: cognitive, emotional, physiological, and relational, healing requires integrative approaches that address the full mind-body system.
This section provides practical strategies for working with Naldelon through two primary pathways. Both approaches are necessary. For some, starting with cognitive understanding provides a sense of stability and structure. For others, addressing the body’s physiological responses first is essential before engaging in reflection. There is no one-size-fits-all process, this space provides multiple entry points to explore what resonates.
There is no single path for working with Naldelon. Some will find mindfulness and cognitive strategies helpful, while others will need somatic and sensory-based practices to feel safe enough to engage cognitively. This is about supporting the body and mind in ways that feel accessible, not forcing a linear process, but creating entry points for exploration.
Wherever you begin, the goal is the same:
Top-down approaches focus on the mind’s ability to interpret, reframe, and make meaning out of distressing experiences.
This can include psychological techniques, mindfulness-based interventions, and narrative processing. These strategies can be useful for those who feel overwhelmed by emotions, disconnected from their sense of reality, or trapped in spirals of fear, guilt, or hopelessness.
Bottom-up approaches work directly with the nervous system to process stored stress, regulate emotional responses, and restore a felt sense of safety.
These are particularly beneficial for those who experience physical symptoms of distress (such as tension, fatigue, or dissociation) or feel overwhelmed by emotions without knowing why.
