4. What Is Somatic Healing Anyway?

The limbic system in the brain is the part that is always looking for danger and anything that could threaten you. As you grew, different types of threats were experienced and your body’s reaction was set in place in order to keep you safe. Those reactions do make sense, but it doesn’t always seem like they do. Your limbic system wants you to stay in the familiar, no matter how uncomfortable or frustrating the familiar is.

In this episode, I’ll go into more detail about:

• The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems
• Stress response
• Learning your signals

Talk therapy and mindset work is valuable, but I’ve found that the deeper work of reprogramming your body’s responses has been a game changer.
