Why Your Nervous System Keeps You Stuck + How to Break Free - Beyond the Surface Ep. 6.
After losing my son Chris, I learnt the hard way that regulating your nervous system is the key to healing from trauma and preventing burnout.
In this episode of Beyond the Surface, I share why your nervous system is like a command centre that's constantly scanning for threats, and how learning to regulate it transforms how you manage emotions, self-talk and limiting beliefs.
What you'll discover:
Why what we think isn't always true (it's based on our lived experiences)
How to pause and respond calmly instead of reacting when triggered
The warning signs of nervous system dysregulation
A guided body scan meditation for instant calm
Why feeling into challenges is better than blocking them out
Try the body scan technique: Starting from your big toe, travel relaxation up through your entire body. You can do this anywhere when feeling stressed.
This is just the beginning, future episodes will include deeper relaxation sequences and meditation practices you can use again and again.
