Ever notice how sometimes a deep breath helps, and other times it just makes you want to scream?

That’s is your nervous system trying to tell you you’re using the wrong tool for the state you’re in.

In this episode of Journeys With My Body, Heidi unpacks how to recognize whether you’re in fight, flight, freeze, or functional freeze, and why the same “reset” doesn’t work for every state. You’ll discover how your body signals what it actually needs to return to safety, and how to align your practices with your physiology rather than pushing against it.

This is about learning your body’s language so you can finally regulate with less effort and more precision.
