162 - 3 Practices That Will Heal Your Nervous System

In today's episode, I am sharing 3 powerful practices that I have personally worked with for the past few years to heal my nervous system.  These practices have taken me from being easily triggered, reactive, overwhelmed and often dysregulated to feeling calm, grounded, relaxed, expansive and able to easily self-regulate through moments of stress and activation.  In this episode, you will learn how to put these practices into place for yourself so you can feel less reactive, more nourished and have a greater ability to work through triggers and stressors when they arise.   In this episode, I cover: * How I healed my nervous system from years of dysregulation  * Why many women hold trauma around their unmet needs as children * How abandoning your needs is keeping you in survival mode  * The subtle ways you add stress to your body  * Examples of how you are overriding your needs without realising  * How meeting your needs creates inner safety, regulation and relaxation  * Why you feel needy of your partner in your relationships  * What it means to be a self-sourced woman  * Why you are reactive and easily triggered in your relationships  * The somatic practices I use to work through triggers  * The importance of shifting from reactivity to self-regulation  * The power of resourcing for creating inner safety  * Examples of internal and external tools that can help you find calm  * How to support your nervous system capacity Links: Join EMBODIED: https://conniechapman.com/embodied [https://conniechapman.com/embodied] Episode show notes: https://conniechapman.com/3-practices-to-heal-your-nervous-system [https://conniechapman.com/3-practices-to-heal-your-nervous-system] Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZykGFogCpU [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZykGFogCpU] Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connie_chapman [https://www.instagram.com/connie_chapman/] Thanks for tuning in!  Connie x
