374 - 4 Effective Tools to Help You Relax When Feeling Dysregulated
When your stress is off the charts, the last thing you need is vague advice and zero follow-through.
What you do need? Tools that actually work—with the science to back them.
In this episode of Alive & Well, we’re unpacking four body-based techniques that regulate your nervous system in real time.
These are somatic tools, rooted in neuroscience, that help you shift out of chronic stress—without needing to book a retreat or download another meditation app you’ll never open.
We’ll start with the why—what happens in your brain and body when you’re stuck in stress mode—and then I’ll walk you through four simple, powerful techniques to bring your system back to safety.
You’ll learn:
🔹 Why traditional stress relief doesn’t work when your nervous system is dysregulated
🔹 How bottom-up regulation works (and why your body leads, not your brain)
🔹 What “the vagus nerve” has to do with calm, clarity, and healing
🔹 How to use somatic tools to create real relief—not just temporary escape
Then, we’ll dive into four practical tools that you can start using this week.
We’ll cover:
✔️ The physiological sigh – a 10-second breath pattern to interrupt anxiety
✔️ Shaking – a natural discharge tool to release stress from your body
✔️ Weighted input – how deep pressure signals safety to your brain
✔️ Cold therapy – using the dive reflex to calm the fear center
If your body feels like it’s stuck in survival mode—or you just need something that works when the overwhelm hits—this episode will give you practical, science-backed ways to shift out of stress and back into regulation.
