What if play wasn’t something you did, but something you experienced?

 

In this episode of The Play Rebels, hosts TJ and Bailey delve into the fundamental importance of understanding play as a nervous system state rather than a behavior or action. You’ll better understand the inner workings of your own mind and reframe your experience of joy and play in your life.

 

Through experiential and imaginative play practices, they explore the different states of the nervous system. They also provide ways to identify your current nervous system states, break ingrained survival patterns, and harness play to enhance mental flexibility, resilience, and joy.

 

Get ready to rethink the significance of play and how it can transform your life.
