HSP 447: How To Heal Your Nervous System - Your Guide to Somatic Healing with Sarah Baldwin

Get the podcasts emailed to you each week: iamsahararose.com/loveletter
Have you ever been in a situation that caused you to get EXTREMELY anxious, trying to do everything possible under your power to try to fix it? You can’t even think about anything other than this issue and it’s getting in the way of you thinking clearly, sleeping or enjoying life.
Or maybe you’ve been in a situation where you just shut down. You don’t even know what to do and feel complete apathy. It feels so far out of your control, you give up. You may even find yourself disassociating and not even knowing who you are and why you’re here.
These are two different states of the nervous system - sympathetic and dorsal.
In this episode, I sit down with Polyvagal trained Somatic Practitioner Sarah Baldwin to really dive into the states of our nervous systems and recognizing where our imbalances occur and why. This is a powerful episode to truly understand your body’s response in a deeper way, which brings about a great deal of compassion for WHY you feel the way that you do.
I truly believe somatics + nervous system healing are the missing links of our mental health system and this episode is a must-listen to anyone who is ready to step into deeper levels of healing - both for themselves and for the planet.

That was an incredible conversation on polyvagal theory and trauma-healing through the nervous system. I teared up several times because so many things that Sarah said were just so validating to my experience as someone who maybe has complex trauma and spent a lot of life dissociating. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@SaharaRose]

You are so welcome ❤️

[@TheseSimpleMoments]

[@SaharaRose]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@missstephyjane]

I second that! Wow I will be relistening. Thank you so much, incredibly helpful

[@ericaoldham1555]

I am so drawn to Sarah’s work! I plan on pursuing training in this work as a therapist.

[@mgn1621]

I so agree with you SR that embodied spirituality is the path.

What a wonderful, wonderful interview. Thank you, both Sarahs. She never got the chance to answer the question "how do you go from sympathetic to regulated?" tho. She got interrupted with other questions about fawn ect and never said what would be helpful, they way she did from dorsal to sympathetic and how to get sympathetic out. I know there was some book recommendations at the end.., but still. Would have loved ot hear a specific answer to that question itself.

wow talking about your experience with weed really opened my eyes but for me personally i had a lot of experiences like that with acid and shrooms. i started doing them early in high school with friends every time. my friends would always be having fun, feeling positive, and partying. while i’d be going through what felt like hell, purging, facing my greatest shadows. normally alone hiding in the bathroom lol. i realize now this was because i had a lot of trauma that was being reflected back to me that many of my friends hadn’t struggled with in their lives

[@SaharaRose]

Thank you for sharing your journey & insights. It's brave to face one's shadows, especially alone. Healing & understanding come in many forms. 💜
