How I *actually* HEALED MY NERVOUS SYSTEM (and changed my life)

How I *actually* HEALED MY NERVOUS SYSTEM (and changed my life) Regulate Your Nervous System 👉 For over a decade I lived in dorsal shutdown, disconnected and frozen. My healing didn’t happen overnight, it unfolded slowly, through isolation, creating space, and practices like restorative yoga, yin yoga, and yoga nidra. As I thawed, I moved into sympathetic activation where I had to face and heal the anger and fight responses in my body. This video shares how I healed my nervous system step by step, and what nervous system regulation really looks like in the real world. I’ll also explain how the vagus nerve works, and why understanding how the nervous system works is essential for long-term healing. Now, after more than 15 years of this process, I live from a place that feels deeply regulated and resourced. If you’re curious about how to heal your nervous system, or you want to learn practical ways to regulate your nervous system, this video will give you a real-world perspective. And if you’re ready to start your own journey, you can join our Revive & Thrive Incubator where we practice nervous system healing together:
