BBR #196: The why behind self-regulation skills

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the "why" behind learning and practicing emotional regulation and nervous system care. These tools are more than quick fixes—they're about long-term growth and building new neural pathways that allow you to navigate stress, anxiety, and overwhelm with resilience.

We’ll explore:

• Why it’s not enough to just learn how to use these tools, but also understand why they work.
• How small, consistent practices can lead to profound changes in how you feel, think, and show up in the world.
• The science behind stress responses, and how repetition and patience are key to teaching your brain and body new ways to react.
• Why knowing your "why"—your personal goals for practicing these skills—will keep you motivated when things get tough.

This episode is a reminder that the journey isn’t a straightforward path but each step gets you closer to the lasting balance you're looking for. If you've wondered if these tools can truly change your life, this one's for you.
