Top down approaches to nervous system regulation like talk therapy and CBT will only get you so far If your brain is wired to be in a state of stress.

Its time we start to see a person as a whole being rather than separate parts… we can work with just the mind but when the body holds the unconscious memory of events it will keep responding through a stressed state regardless of awareness. We can work with just the body but then we won’t be connecting conscious awareness with our felt state and that is equally just as confusing! Work with both and you connect conscious awareness with the bodies unconscious memory (left and right brain hemispheres) You’ll begin to understand yourself, your nervous system, they way it responds and why. You can begin to unpack it and connect to it, resolve it and rewire your responses. Choosing something different starts to come from a place of compassion for self and others rather than fear, shame and guilt. Its sustainable and its rooted in the belief that we are all inherently worthy and enough.
