What does it actually mean to regulate your nervous system?

So often, we think that being regulated means always being calm and happy. So I wanted to share another perspective...

In this episode, I cover the nervous system states: ventral vagal, sympathetic, dorsal vagal

Why we need each state for our survival, and why we would never want to get rid of any of them

Safety and perceived threat/trauma and the nervous system

What regulation actually means: aka flexibility, not being constantly in ventral vagal, or present and calm.

The practices, tools and exercises we need to continue to improve our regulation such as: body connection, somatic awareness, knowing somatic exercises that work for us, and a daily somatic routine
