Lauren explains how the nervous system holds what we were not resourced to process, and why healing often works better when we stop obsessing over the trauma narrative and start listening to what is happening in the present. Amy connects that to trauma science, the window of tolerance, and what it looks like when the thinking brain goes offline and survival takes over.We also dig into co-regulation and why humans cannot heal in isolation. Connection is not a bonus feature, it is biology. When someone else’s steady presence helps your system settle, you can finally access choice, build resources, and decide what comes next with clarity. If you want practical language for the mind-body connection, nervous system regulation that doesn’t feel like a trend, and a path toward a healthier, abundant, free life, press play.Subscribe for the next conversations, share this with someone who feels stuck, and leave a review so more people can find the support they need.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED
