Healing is messy. Some days you’re thriving, other days you’re spiraling—and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. This episode is a gentle reminder that relapse isn’t failure, and that regulating your nervous system isn’t about perfection—it’s about returning. I also share my favorite analogy for understanding the nervous system when old patterns and wounds resurface.
