Family Nervous System: Understanding the Hidden Dance of Safety, Triggers & Regulation

The nervous system is constantly scanning for cues of safety or danger — not only in us but also in our children. When one person in a family is overwhelmed, stressed, or dysregulated, that ripple is felt by everyone. This creates a hidden “dance” of safety signals, triggers, and regulation that shapes the way we live, parent, and connect.

In this episode of Spirit Flow, Tara Hegerty explores how the family nervous system operates, how children absorb cues from their parents and environment, and why our self-awareness is the greatest leverage point for creating calm and connection at home.

In this episode, you’ll receive:

• A simple explanation of neuroception and why it matters for families
• Reflections on how children absorb and respond to parental states
• Everyday examples of how stress and proximity-seeking play out in family life
• Gentle practices to soothe your own system and send safety signals to your children
• Insights into nervous system flexibility and generational healing
