On today's episode, Luis follows up with Camille about her experience with Khadija in the NICU and how her body was, and is, responding. Camille shows us firsthand what it looks like to use somatic embodiment practices to prevent serious overwhelm and potential traumatization.

They discuss the following practices and topics: · choosing what to attune to vs. bypassing and toxic positivity  · orienting to the present, and using the present as a resource · pendulating during intense experiences · how sitting with sensation and tracking the charge can uncover story  · tending to sensation after the moment of rupture  Camille talks about the difference between being calm, and being present and embodied, and how they’re not always the same thing. She also highlights how nutrition can be supportive to the nervous system during emotionally intense times, specifically by avoiding sugar and caffeine.
