Do you ever feel like you're constantly in fight or flight mode, or so overwhelmed that you shut down and then beat yourself up for not doing enough?

In this episode, Meg talks with Stefanie about how to manage stress and reconnect with our bodies. Meg and Stefanie delve into somatic therapy, discussing its principles and the importance of body awareness in emotional healing. They explore how the nervous system influences our emotions and behaviors, particularly in states of stress or burnout. Stefanie shares her personal experiences with reaching a shutdown point and offers practical tips for moving from a state of dysregulation to one of calm and connection. They discuss factors that contribute to feeling stuck in a constant state of fight or flight and how to start bringing yourself back to a more balanced state.
