How do you find comfort when your nervous system is in distress? Explore the drawbacks of numbing or distraction in this solo minicast. Discover cues signaling the need for self-soothing exercises and understand that cravings often indicate an underlying issue. When beyond our window of tolerance, the instinct to seek rapid comfort arises naturally. Tune in as I discuss the self-soothing techniques I employ for swift regulation and comfort in this episode rather than reaching for externals which often have negative impacts. Using these techniques can help you become your own best friend, your best advocate, or finding your own ways in which you can soothe yourself.
