Show Notes:
Episode 9: The ORCAS Model: Supporting Ourselves and Each Other
In this episode, Sarah walks through the gray fall woods of Anchorage and introduces her new ORCAS Model for nervous system care — a simple, memorable framework to help us support ourselves and one another through life’s waves. She shares the story behind the acronym (and the real sled dog who inspired it!) and guides listeners through a short, somatic practice using the five steps: Orienting, Resourcing, Coregulation, Activation, and Settling.
