I teach nervous system regulation every day… and I still have to practice it with intention in my own life too.
Not because I’m “failing” at it. But because I’m human.
Even with all the training, the somatic tools, the polyvagal maps…
My body still gets overwhelmed.
My system still speeds up.
I still have edges I’m learning to soften, moments I forget to breathe, and days where I catch myself slipping into over-functioning mode.
Healing doesn’t make you invincible.
It makes you aware.
It makes you more tender, more attuned, more willing to pause and reconnect when you feel disconnected.
I share this because I want to normalize it… for you, and for me.
Regulation isn’t perfection.
It’s a practice.
A returning.
A choosing of yourself, again and again.
And I’m right there doing that work too.
Right alongside you. 🤍
If this resonates, let it be a reminder:
You don’t have to be fully healed to live a full, beautiful life.
You just have to keep showing up for your nervous system with compassion.
