In this powerful and educational conversation, I sit down with trauma-informed somatic coach Mandy Flanders to explore the role of nervous system regulation in healing. Mandy brings deep insight into topics like attachment, parts work, somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory, and more...all through a lens of compassion, biology, and hope.
We dive into:
- How chronic dysregulation keeps the body stuck in survival
- The link between early experiences, trauma, and adult relationship patterns
- Why true healing is hard without nervous system support
- Actionable tools to begin shifting into safety and flexibility
- The biological basis for co-regulation and why it matters
Mandy also shares personal stories, busts common myths, and reminds us of this crucial truth: healing is absolutely possible. Even if you feel like you’ve tried everything, there’s more to your story.
