If rest feels uncomfortable, frustrating, or impossible, you’re not doing it wrong. Your nervous system just needs a different path to get there.

In this episode, we talk about:

🧠 Why rest is a state, not a behavior

🌙 Why ND bodies stay in “on mode” even when you lie down

💛 How sensory needs affect your ability to rest

🪶 Why stillness can feel unsafe or overwhelming

✨ Why “just relax” isn’t real nervous-system support

You’ll learn:

1. Why your body may need movement before stillness
2. How pressure, warmth, and containment support downshifting
3. Why emotions often surface when you finally slow down
4. How micro-rest builds capacity for deeper rest

Rest follows safety.

And ND bodies often need bridges to feel safe enough to settle.

You’re not bad at resting.

Your nervous system is asking for gentler support.
