In today’s episode, Alecia St. Germain brings you Session 2 of The Capacity Series all about emotional capacity. It’s the ability to feel fully, stay present, and respond instead of react.
Emotional capacity isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about being able to notice what you feel, stay grounded in your body, and choose your next move with intention, instead of letting old protection patterns run your day.
đź“ť Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode:
Protection patterns are not flaws. They’re bids for safety. Fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and feign all began as your nervous system’s way of protecting you. When you stop judging them, you can finally work with them rather than against them.
Awareness is the bridge between reactivity and regulation. The moment you recognize what’s happening, “I’m freezing,” “I’m fawning,” “I’m in judgment,” “I’m overwhelmed,” you create the space to choose a different response.
You always have a choice: notice → regulate → act with alignment. Once you can name the pattern and the emotion underneath it, you can slow down, regulate your nervous system, and take aligned action instead of reactive action.
