In this episode of Ebbs & Flows, Erin introduces a series focused on nervous system regulation, emphasizing its importance for healing and overall well-being. She explains the autonomic nervous system, including the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, and discusses polyvagal theory, which outlines how our nervous system responds to stress and safety.
We're covering the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, the impact of trauma on the nervous system, and why awareness is the biggest step to healing & transformation. Erin encourages listeners to approach their nervous system with self-compassion, understanding & patience. Your body is wise, it is always trying to bring you back into balance, and the tools we'll cover in this series allow you to help steer it in that direction by creating flexibility in your nervous system!
