Ever wondered why animals seem to bounce back from stress so effortlessly, while humans often get stuck?

In this episode, Tanner and Anne dive deep into the science of trauma and the nervous system, guided by insights from experts like Peter Levine and Deb Dana. We'll explore how intentional movement can rewire our nervous systems from a state of chronic stress to one of connection and healing. Hear how animals naturally navigate fight, flight, and freeze responses, and learn why humans often struggle to do the same. With practical tips and heartfelt stories, we offer you actionable steps to start your journey toward emotional regulation and self-compassion. Whether you're new to somatic practices or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won't want to miss.
