In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, therapist and mom Erin sits down with Jessica McGuire—author of The Nervous System Reset—to explore why your body reacts before your brain catches up, and how understanding the three states of your nervous system can transform how you see yourself.

What You'll Learn:

• The three nervous system states: mobilization, regulation, and immobilization

• Why chronic symptoms like IBS, pain, and anxiety may be rooted in nervous system dysregulation

• How to recognize when you're stuck in old protective patterns

• Why self-regulation practices matter (and why you don't need permission to use them)

• Practical ways to adapt nervous system tools to your real life—even with kids, work, and endless to-dos

Jessica shares her journey from psychotherapy to teaching health practitioners nervous system-informed care, and why this work isn't about "hacking" your way to calm—it's about consistent, gentle practices that create real neuroplastic change over time.

This episode is for you if:

• You've been told your pain or symptoms are "all in your head"
• You want to understand why you feel anxious, shut down, or constantly rushed
• You're a parent, coach, or clinician looking to support nervous system health
• You're ready to release self-blame and find more self-compassion
