Welcome to Episode 6 of the "Heal with Grace" Podcast. In this episode, I dive into the common mistakes we often make while learning to regulate our nervous system. My aim is not to point out faults but to provide valuable insights that can aid in your journey towards self-connection and nervous system regulation.
