The Daily Reconnect

I cover a guided neurodivergent somatic practice designed specifically for when you cannot read your internal body signals. I offer alternatives to emotional labeling by using external temperature, physical pressure, and neutral feedback. I walk through a short self-care exercise that avoids the demand to identify complex emotions. I explain how to use your hands, jaw, chest, and feet and other methods (external or internal) to gather simple sensation data without the pressure to feel something specific.CHAPTERS:0:00 Introduction to the self-care practice0:53 Who this check-in is designed for1:34 Starting practice by finding a comfortable starting position9:25 Connecting to the companion strategy episodeAbout Audio and VideoThis show is available as a video on YouTube and Spotify.

This is a grounding practice built for shutdown, the offline and quiet state where everything has become a lot and even small routine things feel impossible. The practice asks for almost nothing from you. You can stay lying down, seated, standing at a desk, or wherever you already are, with your eyes open or closed. Nothing has to change, and you can stay exactly as you are the whole time.KEY TAKEAWAYS:This practice is for shutdown states, when your system has gone offline and small tasks feel impossible.There is nothing you have to do, and you can stay in whatever position you're already in.The air on your skin, its temperature, and the texture of the surface under you are accessible exteroceptive starting points.If your body wants more input, pushing your palms into a wall, a doorframe, or your own lap adds pressure you can adjust as you go.Your nervous system was doing something the whole time, even when nothing felt like it shifted.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro and safety reminder00:53 Who this practice is for: shutdown and overwhelm01:19 Practice05:50 Returning your attention to the room06:26 Closing reflection on what your nervous system was doing06:37 Where to find more resourcesAbout Audio and VideoThis show is available as a video on YouTube and Spotify.

This is a five minute guided temperature awareness practice. Standard body scans ask you to find sensations that some neurodivergent people genuinely cannot locate, and that gap can make the whole exercise feel useless. Temperature gives you something concrete to work with. We move through the hands, feet, forehead, chest, and stomach, and at each region we check two things: whether the temperature is warm, cool, or neutral, and whether it feels pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. Neutral counts as a real answer, and noticing nothing counts too. The external regions like your hands and the air on your forehead are a legitimate place to stay, and a single check-in can build into more capacity with daily repetition.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Temperature is one of the most accessible interoceptive starting points when body scans give you nothing to work with.At each body region you can notice two separate things: the temperature itself, and whether it feels pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral.Neutral is valid information, and noticing nothing at all is also valid information.External sensations like the temperature of your hands or the air on your forehead are a legitimate entry point you can stay with for as long as you want.Daily repetition is how one short check-in turns into more familiarity with your own signals over time.CHAPTERS00:00 Intro and safety reminder00:53 What temperature awareness is and why it works for low interoception01:23 Practice04:59 Returning your attention to the room05:45 Why external sensations are a legitimate place to stay06:29 Where to find more resourcesAbout Audio and VideoThis show is available as a video on YouTube and Spotify.

Your body is already bracing for a conversation that hasn't started yet. This 5-minute guided resourcing practice helps you regulate your nervous system before a meeting, phone call, or any interaction your body is anticipating. Resourcing is a skill from the Community Resilience Model (CRM) that uses a positive memory, person, place, or activity to shift your nervous system toward steadiness before you need it. In this guided practice, you'll ground yourself by noticing physical contact with surfaces around you, bring a resource to mind, track what happens in your body, and anchor that sensation so it's available to you during the conversation itself. No breathwork, no visualization, no sitting still with your eyes closed required.This is an educational self-care practice. You know your body better than anyone, so modify or skip anything that doesn't work for you.About Audio and VideoThis show is available as a video on YouTube and Spotify.

Functional freeze and ADHD paralysis look almost identical from the outside, but they involve completely different biological mechanisms, and fixing one the wrong way can make the other worse. This episode breaks down how to tell which kind of stuck you're actually in and what to try for each.If you've ever googled "why can't I move" while lying in that same spot on the couch, you might already know that the standard advice (make a list, start small, go outside) doesn't seem to help. That's because functional freeze is a nervous system shutdown response driven by cumulative stress, while ADHD paralysis is an executive function overload in the prefrontal cortex. They feel different on the inside, they respond to different strategies, and applying the wrong one can actually increase the threat signal or starve your brain of the stimulation it needs.This episode covers the biology behind each state, how interoception challenges make self-assessment harder for neurodivergent people, external markers you can use instead of internal check-ins, and specific approaches grounded in the Community Resilience Model (CRM) for each state. If you're AuDHD and experience both at the same time, that's covered too.Also, the Polyvagal Theory often mentions these states, and this biology, but a lot of that has come into scientific scrutiny. The theory is also has significant problems around neuro-inclusivity.

This episode guides you through a meditative exercise that's focused on identifying core values as an anchor during overwhelming times. This week's focus is on overwhelming news. Then, Jen discusses how modern systems deliberately create isolation. We discuss that isolation is structural rather than a personal failing, and that this is itself an act of resistance.New Show: Wired DivergentFind my latest show on nervous system regulation here: https://jendehaan.com/wired-divergent or wherever you're getting this podcast.Credits, contact, and more infoThis podcast series was created, written, edited, produced and is hosted by a human, Jen deHaan.Music and SFX are licensed for our use and made by humans, or taken/made in-house by humans.Jen has a Certificate of Graduate Studies in Developing Healthy Communities: Nutrition, Behavior, and Physical Activity from Tufts University, a degree in adult education in the arts, and various certifications and experience in group fitness instruction and nervous system regulation.Artwork, logo, and graphics: Jen deHaan.More show info/contact: jendehaan.comMade and produced by Jen deHaan in British Columbia, Canada.Disclaimer: Educational content.
