In this highly educational episode, I sit down with trauma-informed somatic coach Mandy Flanders, and she serves up a huge dose of material to chew on regarding nervous system health. Mandy is an expert in nervous system regulation and co-regulation, with signature focuses on conscious parenting, attachment + parts work, somatic experiencing, the polyvagal theory, and more. She is super passionate about helping people and clients understand their unique patterns of "stuckness," to where they can then begin to unwind these inclinations and heal their bodies and their relationships.
Mandy emphasizes the cruciality of the nervous system and its influence on our well-being, and does an amazing job of explaining how the system itself works. She shares about the common misconceptions people often have when it comes to nervous system regulation/dysregulation, so we can better understand our bodies from a biological perspective. She chats with me about how trauma and childhood can play a significant role in how we develop patterns, and also goes into how this heavily influences our close relationships and parenting styles.
Due to the body's amazing adaptation strategies, Mandy explains that it can be very difficult to heal from anything with a chronically dysregulated nervous system, and she thankfully comes through with several tips to get us started. She shares her faith in the body's resiliency, and its ability to change and achieve autonomic flexibility given the right tools. She even shares her own experiences as proof, and wants us all to understand the truth: That healing is absolutely possible, and that there is always more to your story, even if you feel like you've tried "everything." This discussion is full of insight, packed with education, and stamped with HOPE.
