Show Notes
You've probably tried a handful of nervous system regulation strategies from TikTok already — and they do work.
But there's a mistake almost everyone makes with them, and it's quietly cancelling out the results.
In this episode, I break down the three parts of anxiety and where nervous system regulation actually fits into healing (hint: it's necessary, but it's not the whole picture).
I also cover the number one mistake people make when trying to regulate, and a second, sneakier one most don't even realise is happening.
You'll learn: The three parts of anxiety, and why healing only one keeps you stuck What your vagus nerve is actually doing when you're anxious Why stacking 20 regulation strategies in one day can backfire The one strategy I use with clients daily (and how to habit-stack it into your routine)
