Episode 6: Guilt, Boundaries, and the Nervous System
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we explore how guilt often arises when we begin to set boundaries and change familiar patterns of relating.
Through a nervous-system lens, guilt is reframed not as a sign of wrongdoing, but as a response to doing something new. With gentle reflection and grounding practices, this episode supports you in holding boundaries with compassion while helping your nervous system learn that self-protection can coexist with safety and connection.
