Your Nervous System Is Not the Enemy

Episode 3 of our Body Trust series. In this episode, we explore how our nervous system functions as a protective mechanism and how we can work with it rather than against it. Through guided 4-2-6 breathing and rhythmic, self-regulating movements, we aim to foster a sense of safety and connection within our bodies.
