Understanding Your Stress Responses - How Your Nervous System Shapes Relationships

Hey there! In this episode, we dive into nervous system regulation and how our stress responses impact our ability to be vulnerable in relationships. This is just a glimpse of what we explore in Soulfully Seen, where we go deeper into healing patterns and rewiring the nervous system for authentic connections.Join the Soulfully Seen - Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower WaitlistWhat you’ll hear:The Nervous System: Understanding the sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) responses.Stress Responses: We each have a dominant fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response when faced with stress. Fight: Reacting defensively, controlling situations, picking fights. Flight: Avoidance, overworking, perfectionism, staying busy to escape emotions. Freeze:Feeling numb, shutting down, dissociating, ghosting difficult situations. Fawn:People-pleasing, shapeshifting to be accepted, losing oneself in relationships.Origins of Stress Responses: These patterns develop in childhood as survival mechanisms.Rewiring the Nervous System: Learning to shift from reaction to response through regulation techniques.Somatic Practices for Regulation: Box breathing, movement, shaking, self-soothing, and EFT tapping help reset the nervous system.⁠Join Perfectly Broken: Path to Power Membership ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let’s Connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danistedman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠⁠⁠⁠theperfectlybrokenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
