Today's episode is a powerful conversation with Jan Winhall, an expert who's revolutionizing how we understand addiction, trauma, and healing. If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of behavior you can't seem to break, if you've struggled with food, substances, or any pattern that seems to control you, this episode is going to change everything.

Jan walks you through her groundbreaking Felt Sense Polyvagal Model - a compassionate, body-centered approach that doesn't just label you as 'disordered', but understands your experiences as intelligent adaptations. We'll explore how your nervous system works, why you do what you do, and most importantly, how healing is absolutely possible.

Tune in to discover:

  • Why addiction is an intelligent survival response, not a personal failure
  • How your nervous system drives behaviors like bingeing and self-sabotage
  • The critical role of "safety" in breaking destructive cycles
  • Practical first steps to reconnect with your body and begin healing

Get ready for an incredibly validating, science-backed conversation that will help you see yourself and your struggles with new eyes. Jan Winhall is about to show us that our bodies aren't the enemy - they're actually trying to protect us.
