Nervous System Regulation for Chronic Pain & Trauma
A Polyvagal Approach
Dear friend,
I know and I get it... I have been there.
Living with chronic pain or with the effects of trauma can feel like a life sentence. Because, on a somatic, physical and embodied level, it is!
Do you ever feel like it can take a huge amount of energy just to put the wash on? That is that 'stuck' or 'freeze' place of our nervous system.
Having chronic pain or trauma means that in the here and now, the nervous system has to work EXTRA hard to keep us safe and survive the world. That is a lot of energy to be using every day, just to do simple tasks.
It's hard to continue living life like that. It's not really living, it's surviving.
Then for some of us, we spend a lot of time in a stress overdrive nervous system response - constantly on the go and doing things. Never able to relax. Because to the nervous system, relaxing isn't safe. We need to keep doing to survive this world.
And so, how do we change that? How can we get to a place of calm, regulation, safety, and connection in our nervous system?
You're in the right place! I will show you just that in this course.
This course is a polyvagal informed education on nervous system regulation.
It will help you to understand why you are the way you are, and that your story and your responses MAKE SENSE.
It offers tools to help you in finding nervous system regulation more often, therefore supporting you on a recovery journey of chronic pain or trauma.
See you in the course!
