This topic is one of my most favorirte topics to explore because understanding our nervous systems and having the power to self-regulate is essential for our wellbeing and living from a balanced, centered place. On today's podcast, Bhanu Harrison, a Clinical Social Worker, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher and trainer breaks it down for us. We discuss what self-regulation actually means, we explore the importance of understanding the Polyvagal Theory, neuroceptions and our Window of Tolerance. You will learn so much from this episode to support you navigating stress and working with burnout. Take a listen and share your thoughts with us!
