If you've been breathing, grounding, and regulating your way through every day and still feel stuck, this one's for you. Nervous system education has gotten loud lately, and that's a beautiful thing. But somewhere along the way, "nervous system healing" started to mean "stay calm at all costs." In this solo episode, I'm widening the lens.

The first one is safety. She used to move faster than her clients' ...
If you feel stuck in chronic pain recovery, this one is for you. Not the beginning part where you are figuring out what neuroplastic symptoms even are.

Her mother had MS starting when Doc Tovah was eleven, she grew up in a house she describes as chaotic, and...
