This is episode 16, also known as part 5 of our mini series on Successful Outside Struggling Inside. We explore all 8 bio-items that are the building blocks for optimum nervous system health. Those 8 bio items are captured as an acronym: T.H.E. C.L.I.M.B. Each of these 8 will be applied differently pending which run of the nervous system ladder your baseline currently is. 

We take a brief tour in and around each 1 and I make sure to add lived experience as we go, to ensure these feel as accessible as possible, for you to take away and work with right after the episode. 

The 8 bio-items? 

  1. Thoughts
  2. Habitat
  3. Emotion
  4. Community 
  5. Log-off and Sleep 
  6. Intake & Digestion
  7. Movement 
  8. Body-Mind Flow

A Note on Safety

Your mental health, wellbeing, and sense of safety matter deeply. Working with a trauma-informed practitioner can make a significant difference.

While this podcast shares insights, reflections, and tools, it is not a substitute for professional support. If you’re seeking a qualified practitioner, visit the Directory on our website.

Our community includes psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists who work through a trauma-informed lens — often with a special interest in supporting professionals aged 40+ or working within organisations.
