How Do I Regulate My Nervous System? Resetting Your System & Managing Stress

Therapists Julie Goldberg joins Kristie and Felicia to unpack the mechanics of nervous system regulation and offer a practical, somatic perspective on mental health. They explore the range of human response from fight-or-flight to shutdown. This episode reframes anxiety and burnout away from personal failures to adaptive physiological responses designed to keep you safe. Some takeaways: • The differences between safety, mobilization and shutdown. • Why the goal isn't permanent calm but building resilience and flexibility. • How our bodies naturally find safety in the presence of another regulated human. • Changing the narrative from "What's wrong with me?" to "What is my body trying to tell me?" • Simple somatic techniques to help navigate your stress.
