    23. Healing Dissociation Through Nervous System Regulation (Client Story)

    What happens when anxiety, shame, and dissociation make life feel unlivable and nothing you’ve tried has worked? In this episode of Healing at the Root, Diane is joined by her client Katie for an honest, body-based conversation about nervous system healing, dissociation, and what it really takes to come back into safety after living in survival mode. Katie shares her experience of feeling disconnected, frozen, and terrified in her own body—and how somatic work, nervous system regulation, and building safety from the inside out helped her re-enter the world without fear running the show. This episode isn’t about quick fixes or mindset hacks. It’s about slow, embodied healing and learning how to live again. In this episode, we explore: What dissociation feels like when your nervous system is overwhelmed How shame, identity confusion, and people-pleasing keep women stuck in survival Why traditional therapy didn’t work for Katie—and what finally did How breathwork and orienting tools create real safety in the body The fear of “slipping back” after regulation and how to trust your system Moving from constant survival into presence, discernment, and self-trust This episode is for you if: You’ve felt disconnected from your body or afraid of your own emotions You’ve tried therapy, journaling, or medication and still feel stuck You struggle with dissociation, freeze, or chronic anxiety You want nervous-system-based healing that actually integrates the body You’re ready to stop fighting yourself and start building safety Apply to Regulate & Release, a trauma-informed nervous system healing program designed to help women move out of survival, release shame, and reconnect with their bodies.→ Apply here or DM @dainwellness "HEAL" Instagram: @dainwellnessTikTok: @dainwellnessWebsite: dainwellness.com Tags: nervous system healing, dissociation recovery, somatic therapy, anxiety healing, trauma informed care, freeze response, women’s mental health podcast, healing anxiety naturally, subconscious healing, nervous system regulation

    Ever feel guilty for slowing down—like you’ll lose momentum, purpose, or yourself if you stop? That’s the edge I found myself on this winter. In this season opener of Healing at the Root, I’m sharing where I’ve been during my break, what this season of life has been asking of me, and how grief, rest, and nervous system honesty reshaped how I move forward- personally, professionally, and in my body. This episode is less about having it all figured out and more about letting life actually change you. ✨ In this episode, we’ll cover: Why slowing down can feel threatening when your worth is tied to productivity How grief, loss, and uncertainty activate old nervous system patterns What it looks like to rest without spiraling into shame or fear Rebuilding a relationship with your body after loss and control-based “health” Rethinking habits (like cannabis, dopamine, and stimulation) through a nervous system lens Why healing isn’t about optimization—it’s about capacity, honesty, and self-trust What’s evolving inside Regulate & Release and why deeper support matters ✨ If you’re ready to work at the rootApply to join Regulate & Release, my core nervous system healing program designed to help you regulate, rewire, and rebuild safety from the inside out.→ [Apply here or DM me: HEAL] Where to find us:Instagram: @dainwellnessTikTok: @dainwellnessWebsite: dainwellness.com Tags:nervous system healing, rest and productivity, grief and healing, somatic work, dopamine detox, breaking burnout cycles, healing anxiety naturally, subconscious healing, nervous system regulation, women’s mental health

    21. The Female Nervous System & Physical Anxiety

    In this episode, I explain how female nervous systems organize safety differently- primarily through oxytocin, relational safety, rhythm, warmth, and embodied connection. This helps explain why women tend to experience anxiety as a sensation first, with the narrative coming later. We explore: Why anxiety often appears as physical sensation before anxious thoughtsThe role of oxytocin in calming the female nervous systemThe “tend and befriend” response and how women regulate through connectionWhy logic-based or thought-first anxiety approaches often backfireWhat interoception is and why women feel internal sensations more stronglyWhy clarity follows safety for women — not the other way around🚨 Doors are open! Regulate & Release, the self-paced nervous system course, is now live.  Don’t wait- this is your time to release survival patterns and regulate at the root.

    20. Navigating Heavy Grief & the Paradoxes of Duality: My Experience With Back-to-Back Miscarriages

    In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode, I share my real-time journey through grief after experiencing two miscarriages within three months. We explore the paradox of duality- how pain and clarity, devastation and hope, can exist at the same time. I open up about anticipatory grief, chemical pregnancy, and the kind of loss that doesn’t always have a ritual, a funeral, or space to be fully witnessed. We talk about: The hidden grief of miscarriage and chemical pregnancy Why society rushes us to “move on” before the body is ready How control and isolation show up as subconscious coping mechanisms Nervous system responses to loss and uncertainty Radical responsibility in the motherhood and trying-to-conceive journey Holding fear and trust in the same breath Why emotions have to be felt to move through the body The quiet, sacred initiation that grief can become This episode is an honest reflection on what it means to grieve something that was hoped for, envisioned, and deeply wanted- even when the world tells you to minimize it. If you’ve experienced miscarriage, loss, infertility fears, or are navigating the emotional complexity of trying to conceive, this one is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And your grief makes sense. If this episode resonates, my DMs are open. I would love to hear your story. Connect with me: Instagram: @⁠dainwellness⁠ TikTok: @⁠dainwellness⁠ dainwellness.com

    18. Why You Feel Like You’re “Regressing” Around Family (Holiday Triggers, Nervous System Science, & Eldest Daughter Wounds)

    If returning home for the holidays makes you feel like all your healing evaporates the second you walk through the door- this episode will make your whole nervous system exhale. Today we’re breaking down why your body pulls you back into old patterns around family, especially if you’re the eldest daughter, a recovering people-pleaser, or grew up in a home where emotional volatility, silence, comparison, or pressure was the norm.

    In this episode, we break shadow work down into something human, honest, and actually doable.
