Regulating Grief: Simple Body Practices That Soothe A Stressed Nervous System


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we explore how grief shows up in the body and why physical symptoms like tightness, shallow breathing and brain fog are normal responses to loss. We guide simple practices—butterfly hug, shaking, and box breathing—to help the nervous system find safety.

• recap of grief’s physical signs and why they occur
• reassurance that symptoms are normal, not a flaw needing to be fixed 
• butterfly hug for grounding 
• shaking to discharge stress and release tension
• box breathing to steady breath and heart rate
• tips for using practices at home, work, or anywhere
• encouragement to listen to the body and build trust
