02: Getting Comfortable to Soothe Overwhelm


Listen Later

What can you do when it all feels like too much and need to calm your overstimulated nervous system?  In this episode, I talk with Emily Adams, LMFT, CMT about giving yourself permission to be comfortable and what’s possible when you do as well as:

  • Giving yourself permission to be comfortable and what’s possible when you do. 
  • Listening and tending to your body’s needs and not overriding your instincts to reduce overwhelm. 
  • How to know what soothing practices are best for your overstimulated nervous system. 

Emily is a Somatic Psychotherapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She offers a mind-body approach to understanding the self, and loves helping people cultivate ways to feel safe in their own bodies, and in connection with others. She uses elements of spirituality, nature, anatomy, and the arts to support her therapeutic work, and finds these resources helpful in her personal life as well.
