Ep 88: Your Tension is a Security Blanket.

If I told you your tension was keeping you safe, what would you say? I'm guessing you'd be confused, because tension is just a royal pain in the body, right? But the truth is that your tension is a bit like a security blanket - it's providing a sense of stability and safety for your body. This is what we're talking about in today's episode. We cover:- why tension acts like a security blanket- why it's important to work WITH the nervous system when trying to shift persistent tension- why building stability into the system that is your body is important in creating a reality where those tense muscles actually feel capable of letting go, and- my upcoming free workshop about Somatics and how it can help you to shift persistent tension.Sign up for the free workshop Somatics: The missing piece of the persistent tension puzzle? here: https://ericawebbyoga.ck.page/somaticsFind me (Erica) on my website, Instagram and Facebook.I'm grateful for every single download, subscription, rating and review - THANK YOU!The content I share on this platform is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
