There are two main approaches to heal the nervous system and get you back into the blue.

1. Exercises (like breathwork, toning, touchwork, and tapping) aimed at interoceptive strengthening, or increasing the signal from body to brain. We prefer the term bodyfullness in place of mindfulness.

2. Focused trauma work (like somatic therapy or EMDR) aimed at reprocessing or removing the emotional charge from active triggers and undigested experiences.

In our client work, we always focus on both of these areas. When you're practicing at home, the first category of interoceptive strengthening is where you can make the most impact—trauma work, on the other hand, is better with a guide to maintain safety and containment.
