It's Not About the Alcohol

The Perfectionist's Guide to Nervous System Regulation with Michelle Grosser


Listen Later

Do you pride yourself on your ability to “tuck your crazy?” Would you rather boil in rage or drown in overwhelm than be exposed as a Drama Queen?

We’re conditioned from an early age to suppress inconvenient feelings. Whoever can put up with the most sh!t and still smile wins.

My guest today is Michelle Grosser–a recovering perfectionist and nervous system regulation coach. She shares how her fear of being seen as “emotional”  crippled her ability to function as a full time litigator, part time law professor, wife and mother of two babies.

She discovered that “doing too much” wasn’t the problem. It was feeling too little. Prioritizing the care of her nervous system didn’t require her to let go of her dreams. It enhanced her ability to achieve them. 

In this episode, Michelle shares:

  • How to pinpoint the REAL source of your stress

  • It’s not emotions that are so scary. It’s your fear of losing control.

  • How to soothe your nervous system with 10-minute /day habits.

  • The difference between mindset and somatic tools and which work best.
