Description

To wrap up our series on nervous system states, we move from theory to real life. This special episode features a powerful voice message from a listener named Brit, who shares a personal story of navigating a stressful travel day with her family. Her experience perfectly illustrates what it looks like when nervous system concepts become a lived reality. If you've ever wondered how this work actually unfolds over time, this episode offers a hopeful and practical look at the messy, imperfect, and beautiful journey of healing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why nervous system healing is a gradual, layered process that takes time to integrate.
• What it looks like to move from intellectually understanding the tools to intuitively applying them in a stressful moment.
• How regulating your own nervous system positively impacts your family and relationships.
• Why the goal isn't to eliminate stress or never get activated, but to build flexibility and choice in how you respond.
• Key insights from the entire series to support you on your ongoing journey.

3 Takeaways:

1. Trust your own experience & be patient with the timeline.
2. Start where you are & remember that setbacks are part of the process. 
3. The goal is flexibility and choice, not elimination of difficult experiences.
