74. Unmasking Nervous System Regulation: Unpacking Ineffective Strategies and Sneaky Beliefs

In this episode, we dive deep into trauma recovery, healing, and empowerment with Lauren Morgan, Trauma Recovery & Business Coach, Energy Master, and founder of Wild Wisdom. Lauren shares her remarkable journey from battling childhood trauma and severe health challenges to becoming an embodied healer and coach. She opens up about how practices like Ayurveda, hypnosis, and shamanism reshaped her understanding of healing, and how she now helps frustrated entrepreneurs and healers transform their pain into purpose, overcome limiting beliefs, and build heart-centered businesses. Key Quotes: "When you sit with your shadow pieces, even the scariest ones, that's how you really find your light, and that's how you really find those practices to help you work through them." "I made a promise to myself to heal unconditionally on all levels of my being and to give myself compassion along the way." "Our emotions are the truest and most honest form of human expression. They don’t have to make sense; they are meant to be felt and navigated through." "Triggers aren’t triggers anymore. They’re invitations to ask, ‘Where is this coming from?’ and to sit with it as an opportunity for growth." "Your business evolves like you do. If you create it from a place of trauma, it will hold on to that energy. Healing yourself transforms the soul of your business." www.wildwisdomcoach.com www.wildwisdomcoach.com/booking www.instagam.com/Laurenswildwisdom ❥❥❥ HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.

Unlike abuse, Childhood Emotional Neglect is about the absence of something. Many of us who experienced it have no concrete examples of it, so we feel a sense of emptiness without concrete events to point to! This can be so confusing. This seriously painful experience of your emotions being avoided, neglected and not having a supportive place to go to for emotional soothing manifests deeply in our everyday life and every relationship: Difficulty expressing needs and emotions: because, what is they are ignored again? Fear of seeming too needy: because you got the wrong impression you were through being ignored. People-pleasing and struggling to set boundaries: as a way to stay safe and protected. Emotional withdrawal and deep fear of vulnerability: because again - what if you are ignored, rejected and abandoned again, and then all the pain from the past comes up? Difficulty recognizing emotions: because every emotion reminds you of that past neglect and abandonment - so painful! Self-blame or invalidation: you doubt yourself just like your caregivers did. Avoidance of conflict: because conflict always involves emotions and in the past, conflict meant you were often invalidated and made to feel small. Limited self-compassion and low self esteem: you will unworthy, because you hardly felt supported as a child. Challenges in trusting others: how can you trust if you were so deeply abandoned in your childhood, in such an invisible yet super painful way? Always feeling like you are too much or need to much: because you were too much for your caregivers (but this does not mean that YOU are too much, just that they did not have the tools to properly support you!) This impacts deeply sensitive people even more as we have very different emotional needs and higher sensitivity than most people! ❥❥❥ HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.

Key Quotes: "Your nervous system is always working for you, not against you. Even in moments of fight or flight, it’s subconsciously choosing the best option based on your past experiences." "Nervous system regulation isn’t about eliminating emotions or always feeling calm; it’s about building resilience and the capacity to handle a range of emotions." "One path to regulation is self-regulation, but co-regulation—feeling safe with another person’s nervous system—is equally important and often learned first through our caregivers." "There’s a difference between feeling calm and feeling safe. True regulation means being able to feel safe even with big emotions, not just numbing or avoiding them." "Effective nervous system regulation practices involve movement, sound, breath, and connecting to body sensations, bringing you back to safety and strengthening your resilience over time." ❥❥❥ HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.

Maybe you’ve felt weighted down, like your body is bracing for something you can’t quite pinpoint, or struggled to shake off that “foggy” feeling that keeps you from moving forward. These are just a few everyday signs of the freeze response—a natural, yet often misunderstood, way our bodies respond to stress.In this episode, I dive into how the freeze response shows up in both physical and emotional ways that we often overlook.

I’ll walk you through simple, gentle steps to recognize when you’re in freeze mode and how to reconnect with yourself in a supportive way.Tune in to learn why your body might respond with freeze, relatable real-life examples, and actionable steps to gently move out of that disconnected, stuck feeling so you can get back to engaging fully with your life.Join the FREE regulation session here: https://marina-yanay-triner.kit.com/e28e36f163 ❥❥❥ HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.

I have been so stuck with this relationship trigger for probably a lifetime, not realizing that it's so true what I teach... when there is numbness and dissociation it's an invitation to make space and go deeper. So having been forced to make the space (living alone for months now, having loads of alone time), I was able to go deeper and uncover one of the deepest childhood traumas and patterns in my nervous system related to my relationship with my dad and my 13 year relationship with Tomer. It is my hope this will serve you in your own relationships.  SomaShare App: https://www.somashare.com/  ❥❥❥ HeartSpace: An online monthly membership community for open-hearted, nervous system-attuned living.
