Nervous System Regulation: The Foundation of Holistic Therapy

The Nervous System is the foundation of our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

It governs how we respond to stress, how we relate to others, and how we experience safety. When our nervous system is regulated, we’re able to process emotions, engage with life from a place of presence, and create space for healing. When dysregulated, we often move into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn; not just in crisis, but in our everyday patterns. As holistic therapists, healers, and space holders, nervous system awareness is non-negotiable. It allows us to model regulation, support clients more effectively, and stay grounded in our mission without burning out.
