Feeling Safe & Standing Strong
Finding Clarity in the Chaos
When life feels messy, our minds and bodies can get tangled in the noise. In this episode, we explore how to find small moments of clarity even when everything around us feels overwhelming.
We’ll look at how nervous system overload can affect our thinking, and how Universal Protective Behaviours offer us tools to step back and regain perspective.
Somatic Practices in this episode:
- Stoplight Check-In: pausing to notice whether your body feels like it’s in “green” (go), “yellow” (caution), or “red” (stop).
- Tone Matching Practice: gently humming or speaking to match and then soften your inner state.
(You’ll be guided through these in the episode. They can be done quietly in a chair or while moving.)
