from Somatic Self Healers · host Leah McQuade
If you’ve been feeling stuck in survival mode, it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.Your body may still be holding onto stress responses that never had the chance to complete—showing up as bracing, tension, or always feeling “on.” These aren’t signs that you’re broken… they’re signals from a body that’s been working to protect you.In this episode, we explore what’s actually happening in your nervous system and why these patterns can feel so persistent.You’ll also be guided through a gentle somatic and energetic healing practice to support your body in beginning to shift—without forcing change.Sign up for my free course, Nervous System Embodiment for Real Life. https://leahmcquade.com/resources/Be a part of the Somatic Self Healers Community https://mailchi.mp/leahmcquade.com/mg2urgzy6dWant 1:1 support?
