In this episode, Kristen sits down with Deb Dana, a clinician, author, and international lecturer, to explore how understanding your nervous system can help you move from anxiety, overwhelm, and shutdown into greater regulation, connection, and healing.

You will learn:

• How to recognize when your nervous system is in fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown mode
• What "neuroception" is and how your body constantly scans for safety or danger
• Simple ways to regulate your nervous system when feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or numb
• Why co-regulation and repair are essential in parenting, relationships, and therapy
• How small "glimmers" of safety and joy can help build resilience and healing over time
