Healing at the Root

03. What It Actually Means to Regulate (Beyond Deep Breaths)


Listen Later

Regulation is not the absence of stress. It’s your ability to move through it and come back home to yourself.

Still think nervous system regulation means staying calm at all times and doing more breathwork? Not quite.

In this episode, we unpack what true regulation actually is—and why it’s not about avoiding triggers but about your capacity to move through them without abandoning yourself.

We’ll explore the layers of nervous system healing, how Amazon Prime culture messes with your expectations, and what building emotional safety really looks like in the body.


What you’ll learn:

  • Why regulation isn’t about being chill all the time

  • How black-and-white thinking keeps you stuck in dysregulation

  • The layered process of healing your nervous system (and why it takes time)

  • What regulation actually feels like in everyday life (hint: it’s not always peaceful)

  • How to build more capacity without shaming your nervous system
