In this episode, Lisa dives into why somatic techniques like breathing exercises and yoga aren’t enough to heal a dysregulated nervous system. Drawing from her personal struggles and experience, Lisa shares how addressing the root causes of dysregulation—like trauma, unprocessed emotions, and lifestyle choices—are key to true healing.

Lisa discusses the signs of nervous system dysregulation, including fatigue, anxiety, and relationship struggles, and explains the importance of self-responsibility and emotional introspection in the healing process. If you’re seeking to understand what drives your stress responses, this episode offers actionable insights to guide your journey.
