346: Somatic Practices to Regulate Your Nervous System (with Nicole Smith Levay)


Listen Later

For decades mental health and child development experts have taught us to focus on thoughts and behaviors in order to be happier and more successful. Unfortunately, this approach wasn't fully effective for many people because it didn't address energy and nervous system regulation.

Join me and my guest Nicole Smith Levay as we talk about somatic practices that help us to more fully inhabit our bodies so we can experience more peace and calm.

What You'll Learn:
  • Why it's essential for parents to address a child's nervous system regulation before trying to address a child's behavior.
  • The reason breathing doesn't always regulate the nervous system and what to do instead.
  • The gifts that can come to us when we "show up messy"
  • Nicole's strategy for calming herself before performing or public speaking.
  • Jen's experience of "recreating the womb" and enjoying being rocked by a circle of women.
  • How autistic people can teach the rest of us so much about nervous system regulation.
  • And much more!
