Nervous System Regulation for High-Achievers: Mastering Perfectionism with Charmian Johnson
In this powerful new episode of the Notes for My Nervous System podcast, host Erin sits down with Charmian Johnson, a somatic trauma-informed coach and former global law firm partner. This is an essential, real conversation about nervous system regulation for any high-achieving woman, professional, or mom dealing with self-doubt, burnout, and perfectionism.
Discover how to use simple, science-based tools for emotional regulation to move from a stressed to a calm internal state.
Charmian’s journey revealed a profound truth: stress and survival strategies are not personal flaws, but protective responses rooted in a stressed nervous system. She helps women understand this science to create lasting, compassionate change.
This episode also highlights the Mind Circuit App (MCRI), formerly Ease, and how pairing these somatic tools with the app’s Bilateral Brain Stimulation (BLS) feature offers an evidence-based approach to a powerful nervous system reset on the go.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- The Power of Protection: Why perfectionism and imposter syndrome are protective strategies rooted in a stressed nervous system, and how to stop seeing them as character flaws.
- Physiological Safety: Simple, science-based tools that can shift your nervous system back into a calm, "green zone."
- Befriending the Critic: A compassionate approach to working with your inner critic and imposter syndrome.
- Workplace Well-being as a Smart Strategy: Prioritizing team nervous system health to boost productivity and reduce conflict.
Mind Circuit App: Host Erin's app is an evidence-based tool for "micro resets" using Bilateral Brain Stimulation (BLS)—a simple technique discussed in the episode for calming the nervous system on the go.
