Episode notes

Many people struggle with anxiety, emotional triggers, people pleasing, and relationship stress without realizing that the real cause may be nervous system dysregulation. In this powerful conversation, nervous system educator and somatic coach Britt Laxton explains how nervous system regulation can transform trauma healing and emotional regulation.

When the nervous system becomes stuck in survival mode because of trauma or developmental trauma, the body begins to react with anxiety, fear, shame, overthinking, and emotional shutdown. Learning about nervous system regulation helps people understand why these patterns happen and how trauma is often stored in the body.

Through somatic awareness and nervous system healing, it becomes possible to break survival patterns and develop emotional balance, safety, and healthier relationships.
