Join us as host Sharon Sayler and Micaela Giles, co-founder of Origins Collaborative Care, delve into the interconnected concepts of the ‘Original Insult,’ the 'Evolved Nest,' and the importance of community and reconnecting with ourselves. They explore the profound effect that reconnecting with our self and community has on calming our autonomic nervous system and promoting autoimmune recovery. Micaela also shares the impact of relational threats, coping mechanisms, and cultural departures from what our primitive biology needs for health, including:
• Practical strategies for reparenting ourselves
• Understanding loss, loneliness, and trauma and its health impacts
• The role of the autonomic nervous system
• The enlightening metaphor of Orchids and Dandelions and the balance between Sensitivity and Resilience
• The importance of a safe community and connection
Plus, much more...
