In essence, building somatic and nervous system capacity means being able to be with what we are feeling and sensing in the current moment and getting really good at it. Until we do this - build up these capacities - it is very tough to tap into stored traumas because those are stored up IN the nervous system and somatic self (i.e. in the body).

Topics I cover in this video:
-Navigating the tsunami waves of survival stress (those fight, flight, and freeze energies)
-Why controlling our breath can stop stress from leaving
-Growing accurate intuition starts with growing nervous system capacity
