@drbisleen: For the longest time, I thought healing meant getting really good at regulating my nervous system. I was doing breath work, meditating, journaling, grounding... sometimes 10 different things in a single day just to feel okay. Then I realized something. I wasn't healing. I was managing my symptoms. Regulation is incredibly important, but you shouldn't have to rely on it just to get through the day. The goal is to heal the root cause so your nervous system naturally feels safer, and you need those tools less and less. Now, I only do one or two things each day to support my nervous system, not because I have to survive, but because I want to thrive.
