Welcome back to The Heal/Create Podcast! This week Courtney and Emily share their stories about seasons of dysregulation and the practical tools they've used over the years that have supported them to grow into a flexible nervous system. A flexible system is one that is able to dip into self-protective states but come back into safety and regulation with ease. They reflect on their experiences with the hope that you feel encouraged by the changes they've experienced in their own lives.
