Episode Synopsis


Episode 5: Somatic Skills: Resourcing
In this episode, Sarah continues the Somatic Skills series with Resourcing, a partner practice to Orienting. Recorded on a sunny fall walk in Anchorage, she explains how this skill helps the nervous system find safety, stability, and presence by noticing what feels neutral or pleasant in the moment.
Sarah shares why resourcing is essential for counterbalancing stress, how the nervous system processes safety and threat, and how small, everyday practices can build capacity for expansion and ease. The episode ends with a guided resourcing practice you can try right away.
