ICYMI: Feeling Numb? Understanding Functional Freeze, and Polyvagal Theory As A Framework For Healing, with Beatriz Victoria Albina
Q: If you're realizing, oh shit, I think this is where I'm at. What do we do next?
Albina recommends a two-pronged approach: working with thoughts and mindset while also using somatic practices to reconnect with the body.
ICYMI: Feeling Numb? Understanding Functional Freeze, and Polyvagal Theory As A Framework For Healing, with Beatriz Victoria Albina
Q: Polyvagal Theory 101, can you explain what we need to know about it and how it can help us?
Albina describes the theory as a metaphor for nervous-system states: ventral vagal supports safety and connection, sympathetic activation is fight or flight, and dorsal shutdown involves disconnection. She emphasizes that the theory has flaws and is not settled fact.
How To Feel Less Overwhelmed & Make Time For What Matters, with Time Management Expert Laura Vanderkam
Q: What is the most common mistake among people who feel chronically overwhelmed?
People overestimate what they can accomplish in a given period. Vanderkam recommends making a short daily to-do list containing only tasks that fit the time actually available, with room for interruptions and recurring responsibilities.
How To Feel Less Overwhelmed & Make Time For What Matters, with Time Management Expert Laura Vanderkam
Q: Why is it important to think about time in terms of 168 hours a week instead of 24 hours a day?
Weekly cycles better reflect how life is organized, including recurring commitments and the differences between weekdays and weekends. They also make available time more visible: someone working 40 hours and sleeping eight hours nightly has 72 hours left for other activities.
ICYMI: The Other Kind of Burnout: What To Do When Your Life No Longer Feels Like You, with Megan Hellerer
Q: How can we develop that inner sense of direction, or as you've dubbed our inner navigation system?
Hellerer says intuition or a felt sense can guide decisions, while people are often taught to rely on logical, strategic choices with predictable outcomes.
