There was this one theme running through the last few listener submission episodes, this one topic that kept nudging me.. beneath every question, every story, every emotional unraveling… and it was the nervous system. The nervous system as a felt reality.
The way emotions come on fast.
The way we flood our systems and may not realize what or how.
The moment our body switches from presence to survival.
This episode came from the realization that so many of us are touching deep emotional work without the capacity to hold it safely.
In this conversation, we dive into how to recognize when you’re becoming emotionally flooded and how to work with your body instead of against it. I share the Water Faucet Method, a simple nervous-system paced tool for opening emotion gradually.. turning the dial up, down, and back to safety without shutting down or becoming overwhelmed.
We explore:
- What nervous system flooding feels like in the body
- Why flooding happens, and why it’s not a failure
- How emotional intensity differs from emotional overwhelm
- How to recognize your threshold before you overflow
- How to return to safety and build that capacity
- Why healing happens in small doses, not deep dives
This episode is meant for every deep feeler who has ever felt swept under by sensation that comes on too fast.
Press play when you’re ready to meet your emotions with safety instead of urgency.
I pray this episode grows and helps you in some way. Sending my love and light,
J
