Episode notes
Your nervous system holds the key to your resilience, healing, and authentic self. In this episode of the Self Help Show, host Gina-Margaret Tiger sits down with Betsy Kudlinski, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Freedom Guide, to explore how the nervous system shapes the way we respond to stress, trauma, and everyday life.
Betsy explains the science behind activation, settling, and freeze, and why resilience is about learning to live within your "zone of confidence." Gina shares her own vivid story of freezing in front of a hippo as a child — a real example of how survival instincts work in the body. Together, they break down complex ideas into accessible insights, weaving in metaphors, cultural wisdom, and practical takeaways.
