Kate McAllister | Nervous System Regulation: From Reaction to Response


Listen Later

Kate McAllister describes how nervous system regulation shifts behavior from reaction to response. The conversation maps how stress patterns shape daily life, from parenting and school to refugee camps and co-regulation through rhythm and presence. Breath, movement, and sensory grounding become practical tools for returning the thinking brain online when fight, flight, or freeze take over.

🗓️ Recorded October 23, 2025. 📍 Tarragona, Spain
