35: How to Heal the Nervous System: Simple Tools for Self Regulation
06/30/23 • 38 min
In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Dr.Somer Nicole about how to heal the nervous system and she provides profound yet simple tools for self-regulation, reparenting, and protocols you can put in place to feel safe within your own space.
Do you feel chronically dysregulated?
Do you feel like you are reactive instead of responsive?
Beloved, we all have wounds that we are aware or unaware of, and on the path to healing, we often realize we need to reparent ourselves in order to regulate our emotions in a more functional and supportive way. Healing can feel like a painfully slow process, but it is possible to speed this process up and see the results in all aspects of your nervous system and life.
If you long to trust yourself again and want to hack your nervous system to be balanced, regulated, and supportive of your healing journey, then this episode is for you. Dr.Somer Nicole describes her journey from a Western science background into deep somatic healing. She’s spent the better part of seventeen years delving into alternative, natural and holistic forms of healing, which is where she started reparenting herself from her own inner abandonment wound and healing her inner child.
In the later years of learning about these different forms of healing, she went through a divorce that acted as a catalyst in many ways. She describes the emotional processes she went through during the divorce resulting in freeze responses and how she unlocked practices that help you unfreeze your nervous system. She explains the foundations of the polyvagal theory and how we can work with our social engagement system to self-regulate our nervous system.
What are the benefits of regulating your nervous system?
- Improve sleep
- Boosted digestion
- Positive Responses in Relationships
- Reduced anxiety
- Enhanced focus
- Pain management
And much more.
If you want to navigate your life from a place of safety instead of defense, then I invite you to listen to this episode and learn about the safe and sound protocol that Dr.Somer Nicole will not only explain but also offers it in her programs. She provides simple tools to self-regulate, activate your vagus nerve, discharge the necessary energy, and be consistent in the movement that your body craves.

Divine Goddess, if this episode stirred something inside of you, pass it along to another soul sister or brother who may benefit from the amazing wisdom shared here.
