The Nervous System and Addiction

If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of behavior you can't seem to break, if you've struggled with food, substances, or any pattern that seems to control you, this episode is going to change everything.
Jan walks you through her groundbreaking Felt Sense Polyvagal Model - a compassionate, body-centered approach that doesn't just label you as 'disordered', but understands your experiences as intelligent adaptations. We'll explore how your nervous system works, why you do what you do, and most importantly, how healing is absolutely possible.
