Far From Perfect with Kylie Larson

How to Regulate Your Nervous System & Cultivate Your Inner Badass with Erica Bonham


Listen Later

Today on Far From Perfect we are chatting with Erica Bonham who is a therapist and coach. She's been doing this for 14 years and she focuses on EMDR therapy and trauma recovery. Today we are talking about regulating your nervous system and how if we can master this, then we are 'good'! She talks to us about the Big T and the little t, in retrospect of trauma. Lack of atunement is key in terms of regulating the nervous system and understanding and holding the space for it is how we learn to regulate the nervous system. We also discuss using visualization and somatic visualization practice in order to regulate. It's how you want to feel in your body and bringing that feeling through your body from the bottom up! We also talk about Ketamine Therapy, what it is, how it's used and who it benefits. She tells us about her latest offering 'Cultivating Your Inner Badass' and how you can gain access to it. She tells us the difference between therapy, focusing on the past and coaching, which is in the present moment and future oriented goals. This is a must listen.
