Listen "Reactive Regulation: Lean In or Change Course?"
Episode Synopsis
I’m dysregulated, now what? This episode dives into two powerful approaches you can use when you notice anxiety, depression, or other challenging emotions arising: leaning in, or changing course. We’ll explore what each of these options look like, as well as, how to best use them, by understanding your nervous system's various states and how they inform your approach to regulation.Three Takeaways:You Have a Choice: When dysregulated, you can choose to either lean into and support the experience or change course to move towards regulation. Neither is inherently better, but each offers different benefits and tools.Leaning in vs. Changing Course: Leaning in builds your capacity to be with challenging feelings; while changing course involves utilizing tools to directly shift your physiological state. Both strategies can help you to feel more in control and more stable in your healing journey.Build Your Toolkit: Knowing what to do in the moment when dysregulated is key to breaking free from spiraling. Today we talk about tools to meet yourself where you're at and build the capacity to heal.Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE consultation for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program.Join me inside RISE, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space.Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?
