Ep 126 Nervous System Care vs Regulation: Why I'm Rethinking the Language
from Rooted In Presence · host Carly Killen
In this episode, I'm exploring a shift in language that I think matters more than it might first appear... the difference between nervous system regulation and nervous system care.We've all heard 'regulate your nervous system.' But what if that framing is quietly telling us that activated states are problems to fix... even when they're actually appropriate?In this episode:→ Why 'regulation' language can become a sophisticated form of suppression→ When your activation is actually your body doing its job correctly→ What nervous system care looks like instead→ How this changes the way I use breathwork in practice→ Three questions to help you know what you actually need right nowThis one is close to my heart. I hope it gives you permission to stop pathologising your own responses, and start caring for yourself instead.If you'd like to explore some Breathwork demonstrations, you can find them on my Youtube channel here >> https://www.youtube.com/@carlykillencoaching Thanks for listening to Rooted In PresenceIf you’d like to get in touch with a question about today’s episode or find out how I can support you with coaching, here’s how to reach me:📧 Email: [email protected]📱 Instagram: @carlykillencoachDo you crave unshakable confidence in your strength from midlife and beyond?
