S3 Ep 8 | Stabilise with Somatic | Hierarchy of Self-Care | Why Self-Care Often Fails | Lesson

Why does self-care sometimes leave you feeling more frustrated than supported? In this episode, we’ll explore why self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all and how the state of your nervous system can change what you need. We’ll look at why timing matters, why foundations come first, and how to move from asking “what should I do?” to listening to what your body is actually asking for.Key TakeawaysIt’s not one-size-fits-all: What helps depends on your current nervous system state.Timing matters: The tool may not be the problem — it may simply be the wrong support at the wrong time.Foundations first: Rest, nourishment and safety create the foundation for deeper work.Shift your questions: Move from “what should I do?” to “what does my nervous system need right now?”Build a flexible toolkit: Self-care becomes more natural when you learn what genuinely supports your body.Reflection PointsWhen has self-care felt like it “didn’t work”? Was I listening to my body or following what I thought I should do?When have I used a tool that didn’t match my state? What state was I in?What does my body need right now to feel supported?Stabilise with Somatics ContentsPart 1 — IntroductionEp 41 | Stabilise with Somatic | Series ExplanationEp 42 | Stabilise with Somatic | Why the Nervous System Responds This Way | LessonEp 43 | Stabilise with Somatic | The Goal of Coherence | LessonPart 2 — Somatic AwarenessEp 44 | Stabilise with Somatic | Somatic Awareness | Activation | LessonEp 45 | Stabilise with Somatic | Somatic Awareness | Shut Down | LessonEp 46 | Stabilise with Somatic | Somatic Awareness | Coherence | LessonEp 47 | Stabilise with Somatic | Somatic Awareness | Your Nervous System | LessonPart 3 — The Hierarchy of Self-CareEp 48 | Stabilise with Somatic | Hierarchy of Self-Care | Why Self-Care Often Fails | Lesson Ep49 | Stabilise with Somatic | Hierarchy of Self-Care | Foundation | LessonEp 50 | Stabilise with Somatic | Hierarchy of Self-Care| Regulation | LessonEp 51 | Stabilise with Somatic | Hierarchy of Self-Care | Meaning | LessonEp 52 | Stabilise with Somatic | Hierarchy of Self-Care | Intuition | LessonEp 53 | Stabilise with Somatic | Hierarchy of Self-Care | Integration | LessonPart 3 — Somatic AttunementEp 54 | Stabilise with Somatic | Somatic Attunement | The Witness | Guided MeditationEp 55 | Stabilise with Somatic | Somatic Attunement | Awakening Intuition | LessonEp 56 | Stabilise with Somatic | Somatic Attunement | Closing Words | LessonMore Helpful Tools for Sensitive Souls🌀 Meet Your Sensitive System: Take the official HSP-R Assessment🌀 Looking for more 1:1 support with me?
