In this episode, Tatiana Szulc, a trauma and somatic therapist, dives deep into nervous system dysregulation and the power of somatic experiencing. Tatiana explains that dysregulation occurs when the nervous system becomes stuck in survival states like fight, flight, or freeze, leading to a persistent state of anxiety, anger, or emotional rigidity. She emphasizes that nervous system dysregulation is more than just feeling anxious or angry occasionally; it's a continuous state of these emotions.
Tatiana shares practical somatic practices, such as the "VU" sound, that can help regulate the nervous system by stimulating the vagus nerve and promoting a sense of calm. She also stresses that trauma healing doesn't always require discussing past experiences in detail, highlighting how alternative methods like somatic experiencing can offer effective pathways to healing.
