Understanding Our Systems
Brain learning, Emotional regulation, & our Nervous system
There are different aspects of therapeutic growth and healing that we need to consider when we’re stepping into trauma recovery or other healing work. We have to do work with our brains (through our unconscious thoughts and beliefs) and what our brains learn from different experiences, we have to feel our feelings and understand our emotional system, and we have to work with our body through our nervous system.
All of these systems are all intimately connected but it’s helpful to think about them in these three realms - brain, heart, and body - to guide our focus/treatment.
In this course, I’m going to talk about these three areas and share grounding and mindfulness practices that help us stay present and integrate/process difficult moments or memories. These practices can become a part of our coping skill toolkit as well.
