11- Micro-Doses of Safety: Building a Nervous System Bank Account
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode? In this episode, we explore how to support your nervous system through small, science-backed practices I call “micro-doses of safety.”
You’ll learn:
• What stress really is—and how it impacts your hormones, brain, and body
• Why your nervous system operates like a bank account (and what happens when it’s overdrawn)
• 5 simple practices you can use today to regulate and replenish
• The role of cortisol, vagal tone, and sensory pathways in healing
• Why stepping away from the grind is essential for nervous system health
I also share about Somatic Waves, my upcoming training retreat in Costa Rica where we explore the art and science of embodied healing. Whether you're a therapist, teacher, coach, or simply on your own healing journey—you can apply now at elaineclark.ca.
Let this episode be your reminder: regulation doesn’t have to be big or complicated. Small steps can shift your state—and your life.
