426: NUGGET: What You’ve Been Getting Wr...

Monica Yates
About this episode

If you think nervous system regulation means staying “zen” 24/7, this nugget episode is about to shake up your whole perspective (in the best way).

Monica’s breaking down what everyone is getting wrong about this topic in the trauma-healing and somatic space — and this could very well be your missing link to finally letting yourself HEAL and be free.

She’s walking you through what nervous system regulation actually means, why your body needs to feel to heal, and how to get UN-stuck if you’ve been in a vicious cycle of constant healing.


INSIDE THE EPISODE:


🌶️ The #1 myth around nervous system regulation that’s keeping you stuck

🌶️ Why true trauma release actually requires moments of dysregulation

🌶️ What it truly means to be regulated (hint: it’s not constant calm)

🌶️ The science of trauma cycles and why “freeze to safety” doesn’t work

🌶️ Why using tools 24/7 isn’t real embodiment — and what to do instead

🌶️ The power of allowing your body to go there — even if it feels messy

🌶️ How to stop faking safety and start living from true inner peace

🌶️ Why your body already knows how to heal — you just need to get out of the way
