This episode examines how our nervous system shapes emotions, choices, and healing, and explores the balance between guiding our states and listening to them. Jeffrey answers a question about top-down versus bottom-up processing, showing how curiosity and awareness can shift us out of fear, anger, or shutdown into regulation and choice. He also responds to a caller navigating fear and overwhelm during a healing journey, reframing these states as messages from the nervous system that can guide more compassionate self-care and sustainable routines.
