In this episode, we offer a guided mind-body practice for designed for moments when the anxiety signal feels too high to manage.

It's not about forcing calm or "fixing" anxiety. Instead, this gently engages imagination, sensation, and awareness to help the nervous system shift out of overwhelm and back toward regulation.

This is great for all ages!

When to Use This Practice

- When anxiety feels intense and overwhelming

- When grounding techniques feel inaccessible

- When the body needs support before the mind can settle

- A short reset during the day or before sleep

This episode is part of a series where we answer your questions.

Today's question:"How do you teach nervous system regulation and trauma therapy to men who don't do 'woo woo?' How do you teach this stuff to guys who don't even know they're anxious?"In this episode, we explore teaching nervous system regulation and trauma therapy to people - not just men - as this work is not gender specific. We discuss the misinterpretation of 'Woo Woo' and how that does not translate into the emotional and nervous system work being taught here. We dive into cultural perceptions of emotional intelligence, and personal experiences with anxiety.

This episode is part of a series where we answer your questions.

Today's question:

"I've been trying to date again after some major heartbreak, and I keep catching myself assuming people will leave me, ghost me, or betray me. What's the line between intuition and projection? Can you talk about trust after betrayal?"

In our conversation this week, we explore the complexities of relationships, particularly focusing on heartbreak, trust, and the distinction between intuition and projection. We discuss the importance of trust in oneself, healing, and emphasizing the need to understand our own patterns and behaviors in relationships.

We discuss:

- Heartbreak is a profound experience that often leads to self-reflection.

- Trust is something that must be earned, both from others and oneself.

- Rebuilding trust with oneself is crucial after experiencing betrayal.

- Understanding the difference between intuition and projection can aid in navigating relationships.

- Communication is key in addressing fears and assumptions in new relationships.

- Self-trust is essential for making healthy choices in relationships.

- Projection can often stem from past experiences and unresolved issues.

- It's important to recognize when one is abandoning themselves in relationships.

- Healing from heartbreak involves acknowledging and processing grief.

- Practicing self-compassion is vital in the journey of recovery from emotional pain.
