On Healing Mindset with host Nazish, emotional healing guide Natalie “Nat Nat” Bedard breaks down emotional sobriety—meeting reality without numbing—and shows how breathwork, body awareness, and trauma-informed practices regulate the nervous system. You’ll learn to identify sensations (tight chest, jitters, heaviness), name emotions without judgment, and interrupt default patterns like yelling, avoidance, over-scrolling, or shutdown. Natalie leads a 2-minute micro-practice listeners can use anytime, then explains how consistent, small actions compound into durable change you can feel in daily life (less reactivity in traffic, fewer blowups, more steadiness). Clear, grounded, and practical—this conversation gives you tools to reconnect to your body and move from survival to presence. About the guest Natalie “Nat Nat” Bedard is an emotional healing and nervous system guide. Through a trauma-informed, self-rootedapproach, she helps clients release protective patterns, regulate emotions, and return to authenticity. She creates accessible practices, runs the Lift Oneself podcast, and offers workshops on Emotional Sobriety. Key takeaways : Emotional sobriety = facing reality without numbing; emotions are information, not absolute truth. Start with the body: name sensations first (knot in stomach, tightness, urge to run), then name the emotion. Micro-practice: 2 minutes of nasal breathing, gentle attention, and belly breaths can downshift the nervous system. Protective patterns form to keep us safe (“don’t die” biology) and become defaults (yell, freeze, fawn, scroll). Interrupt patterns by pausing, breathing, and asking: What just activated me? What am I feeling in my body? Trauma-informed care honors different nervous-system responses to the same event; safety and pacing matter. Somatic anchors (hand on chest, “I am safe to feel”) rebuild trust and reduce dissociation or overwhelm. Progress looks subtle first: fewer outbursts, less agitation, steadier baseline—consistency beats quick fixes. Journal after practices to give language to sensations and track triggers, wins, and shifts over time. Healing is partnership, not prescription: meet yourself where you are; slow and steady creates durable change.
