Episode 70 | Understanding Your Nervous System (Solo Episode)
Send us a textIn this episode, I’m exploring one of the most transformative things I’ve learned - how understanding my own nervous system has completely changed the way I see myself, my emotions, and my healing. It’s honestly felt like magic. ⠀I explore what nervous system healing really means (and what it doesn’t), why regulation isn’t about being calm all the time, and how practices like co-regulation, awareness, and gentle consistency can reshape our sense of safety from the inside out. ⠀ If you’ve ever wondered why you react the way you do, or why certain relationships feel calming while others drain you, this one’s for you. Once you start to understand your nervous system, everything - truly everything - begins to make sense.SPONSOR:Thank you to our wonderful sponsor, Bare Biology.Use code HELENMARIE20 at checkout to receive 20% off your order.https://yourshopifydomain.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=HelenMarieWebsite: https://www.barebiology.com/
