367 - 5 Somatic Techniques to Regulate When You're Feeling Overwhelmed
You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the deep breaths. You’ve told yourself, “Just calm down.”
But when overwhelm hits? Your body’s still on edge—clenched jaw, tense shoulders, short fuse.
Here’s the truth: you can’t out-think a dysregulated nervous system.
Because when your brain is flooded with stress hormones, logic and willpower go offline.
In this episode of Alive & Well, we’re unpacking what really happens in your body when you're overwhelmed—and why somatic tools (not more hacks or habits) are the key to feeling calm, grounded, and in control again.
💡 Inside, you’ll learn:
- What happens in your brain and body during a stress response
- Why traditional productivity and self-help advice often fails in moments of overwhelm
- 5 powerful, simple grounding techniques that work with your biology—not against it
You’ll walk away with practical, easy-to-use tools like:
✔️ The physiological sigh
✔️ Body tapping
✔️ Eye presses
✔️ Heel drops
✔️ Vagus nerve stimulation
If you’ve ever felt hijacked by stress or scrambled by anxiety, this episode gives you the body-based roadmap back to center.
Because real regulation doesn’t start in your head—it starts in your body.
