Triggered or Activated? Understanding Your Nervous System Story

from Pulling Threads, Weaving Authenticity · host Leslie Mathews

Nervous system regulation, co-regulation, and the window of tolerance aren’t just therapy buzzwords. They shape how we parent, partner, teach, and show up in conflict every single day. In this powerful episode of Pulling Threads, I sit down with Rosanne Carter, LMFT, Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Therapist and nervous system consultant, to explore how our nervous systems narrate our lives before we even realize it. We discuss: • What co-regulation actually means and what it doesn’t • Why your body reacts before your brain can think • The difference between being “triggered” and being activated • The window of tolerance, developed by Dr. Dan Siegel, explained clearly • Fawning vs. people-pleasing • Burnout in therapists, teachers, and attorneys • Sacred rage and setting boundaries after emotional immaturity • How to regulate yourself in the courtroom, classroom, or kitchen • A simple vagus nerve technique you can use immediately This conversation is especially relevant for: ✔ Therapists and helping professionals ✔ Parents navigating big emotions ✔ Women healing after divorce ✔ Teachers and attorneys experiencing burnout ✔ Anyone wanting to better understand trauma, activation, and emotional regulation Your nervous system holds stories, and when you learn to listen, everything shifts. 🔗 Connect with Rosanne Carter 🌐 www.kavana-consulting.com 🌐 www.rosannecartercoaching.com 💼 Rosanne Carter 📸 @msrosannecarter 🔗 Connect with Leslie Mathews and The LooM Life 🌿 The LooM Life (Coaching): https://www.theloomlife.com 🧠 Loom Life Therapy: www.loomlifetherapy.com 📸 Instagram: @the.loom.life 🎙 Podcast: Pulling Threads #DivorceRecovery #NervousSystemHealing #EmotionalRegulation #TraumaInformed #WomenHealing
