Episode 17: Capacity and Repair. What Your Nervous System Actually Needs to Build Real Resilience

Message me at [email protected] is not the ability to never break. It is the ability to return.In this episode Briony Montgomery, somatic psychotherapist and founder of The SomaTherapy Collective, explores nervous system capacity and the rupture and repair model. Learn why small stresses can feel catastrophic when your capacity is narrow, how protective adaptations from childhood shape your nervous system's defaults in adulthood, and why the absence of repair, not the rupture itself, is what actually causes harm.Briony shares her own rupture and repair practice, built over eighteen years of motherhood, and explains titration, the somatic method of moving between activation and settling to safely widen your window of tolerance.Topics covered include nervous system capacity, window of tolerance, hypervigilance, rupture and repair, titration, intergenerational patterns, and building resilience without suppression or perfection.Subscribe to The Unfuckwithable Woman for new episodes every fortnight.Book a free 20 minute Clarity Session at thesomatherapycollective.com/20-minute-clarity-sessionBook a 1 to 1 somatic therapy session at thesomatherapycollective.com/schedule-a-callContinue the JourneyIf something in this episode landed in your body, sit with it.
