[Ep. 243] The Most Accessible & Affordable Stress-Reducer Is...A Pillow?!


Listen Later

Ever feel anxious, panicked, or  like a "floating head" detached from your body? When in these states we can lose our instinct to tend to our body. For example, we might not realize we need to eat, pee, or take a deeper breath. 

Maybe you need a pillow, one of Luis' favorite strategies for being with stress and trauma.  The humble, and often accessible, pillow technique is explained, as is the back up for when you don't have access to a pillow. Using a pillow can help stimulate the parasympathetic response and bring blood flow back into the body, resourcing the body, and perhaps allowing us to respond from a more resourced place. Remember, it's a practice.
