You were trained to hold space for other people. But who taught you to account for what that work asks of your own nervous system? Your regulation isn’t separate from the work you do. It shapes what becomes possible in the room.

I forgot this was possible.

Strength and bracing look the same from the outside. They feel completely different on the inside. Here's the difference — and what it might feel like to finally put some of it down.

We talk about nervous system regulation as if it's a new skill to learn. It isn't. Your body already knows how. The skill you're missing is listening.
