Overintellectualizing, building airtight narratives, replaying the same old stories—these habits can feel like we’re doing the work. They feel productive and responsible. But often they are elegant survival strategies that keep us safely in our heads and out of our bodies. In this episode, we unpack the crucial difference between insight and integration, and why understanding your symptoms is not the same thing as rewiring your nervous system. We wanted to bring this Boot Camp teaching to everyone because it’s foundational. None of us are trying to avoid healing. In fact, most of us are working incredibly hard at it. But sometimes our brilliance becomes a barrier. When rumination replaces feeling, nothing truly shifts. Healing happens when we drop below the neck and allow anger, grief, fear, and vulnerability to move through us without immediately explaining them away. Join us as we break down how to recognize when your mind is protecting you—and how to gently step aside so your brain and body can finally learn that you are safe. xoox N&L Want your questions answered directly by Nicole? 💛 Receive support, guidance, connection, and direct access to Nicole with ➡️ MEMBERSHIP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/y7wadt8d⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser ~~~~~ SUPPORT: 🟠 Struggling with chronic pain?
