We know that we can regulate our nervous system but where do we actually begin? This week we're talking about the first, and most important, step that often gets ignored and how taking this step can drastically change how regulated our nervous system feels. 

In this episode we cover:

• If you haven't already, go back and listen to the previous episode
• The negative impact a hug can have
• Becoming aware of the indicators we're dysregulated
• The role your inner child plays in nervous system regulation and dysregulation
• Building trust and creating safety in your nervous system
• What does pee have to do with it?
• Forcing ourself to do something
• Supporting your nervous system through meeting your needs
• Starting from the bottom up
• Creating a win, win, win for yourself
