Nervous System 2.0
A Nervous System rewire for people struggling with relationship challenges, anxiety and depression that are commonly rooted in trauma and attachment wounds.
Most of us aren't aware how our upbringing has impacted the way we relate to others as adults. A child's nervous system is primed for regulation or dys-regulation, depending on whether their home life was emotionally safe, consistent, and reliable. If the child's core psychological needs weren't met, chances are, as an adult, their nervous system is dys-regulated. The result? Physical problems such as digestion issues & chronic pain, as well as mental health issues like anxiety, depression, low self-worth and unhealthy relationships.
