ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
In this episode, Gena and I explore the topic of expanding our capacity to really feel our pain and how our ability to feel regulated is closely tied to our sense of safety and how our nervous system is wired. Listen in as Gena shares practical tools for doing this, such as bilateral tapping. We also cover the importance of feeling and processing emotions to clear out any stuck energy that may be blocking our ability to be present. By practicing these techniques, we can gradually expand our capacity to feel safe and create a more empowered and joyful life.
