Why Breathwork Isn't Always Safe For Nervous System Regulation & What To Do Instead | Jessica Maguire

Jessica Maguire - physiotherapist, nervous system researcher, and founder of Repairing the Nervous System - joins Dr. Will Cole for one of the most scientifically rich conversations the podcast has had on trauma, regulation, and healing. They cover the eight sensory systems, the overlooked science of interoception, why IBS has been reclassified as a gut-brain disorder, the freeze and collapse response, and why breathwork can actually dysregulate people who aren't ready for it. Jessica also shares her personal loss and the research journey it set in motion, and gives practical in-the-moment tools for nervous system repair grounded in neuroplasticity principles.
