S1, Ep5: Routine medical procedures & the nervous system

In this episode, Michelle, shares why our nervous system can have a big emotional response to something that is deemed 'routine' and how our mind will want to constantly over-ride the somatic self.Michelle discusses:*  Why boundary ruptures can make these routine appointments more challenging;*  Even though we know in our mind that we need these life-saving procedures, our body might have a completely different emotional response, leaving us feeling confused;*  Why lying on a treatment bed automatically puts our nervous system in a state of immobility, meaning we find it more difficult to access our agency;*  Practical resources to help support your nervous system.Thanks for listening.Michelle xxSupport the showThanks for listening!Follow me on Facebook or Instagram.If you'd like to explore how my Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy can support you, please get in touch to book a free consultation.Registration has now opened for our trauma-informed Certified Laughter Yoga Leader training in March.
