Strong Mind Resilient Nervous System
WEDNESDAYS 7:30 TO 9 PM EST -
April 16 - MAY 14, 2025

We don’t have to suffer through life with an unregulated nervous system
Without a strong mind, we turn against ourselves with a mean inner critic. We anxiously try to control other people and the external world to feel safer. Our mind is caught in a trance of ruminating and catastrophic thinking. We shut down and think about emotions instead of feeling them.
Unresolved trauma hijacks our system and keeps us in perpetual hypervigilance and survival responses of fight/ flight/ freeze/ fawn.
As we lessen and dissolve the obstacles to knowing and honoring ourselves, we aren’t as reactive to other people shaming us. We form better boundaries. We are on our own side.
We become a steady presence for ourselves as we welcome feelings and associated thoughts, memories and beliefs. We become free from self-limiting beliefs and patterns.
Trauma-informed is a buzz word the last few years for good reason. Many people felt stressed, scared, disconnected, and like we could barely keep our head above water before Covid, then it intensified.
Trauma is not just something that happened to us in the past. We are moving through a collective experience of trauma now. We feel the impact on our nervous systems, and are aware of how hypervigilance plays out in our personal lives, politics and in the media. We need help to build strength and resilience.
Trauma informed somatic mindfulness is not therapy, although it can have therapeutic benefits. As we regulate our nervous system, we experience authentic safe connection. As we learn and practice the tools, we become more stable and trustworthy for ourselves and each other.
