when all self care feels like an effort and why guided visualisations have been AMAZING for me
examples of life and relationships stressors on our nervous system
a checklist to assess nervous system burnout in our body
what happens when our nervous systems gets stuck in a fight or flight state
shame & guilt when we 'fail' at self care
