Episode 19 - Sacred Resistance: What Your Nervous System Knows About Pushing Back
Description
There's a kind of resistance that rises right at the edge of change — when something big is asking to move through you.
We've been taught that resistance is something to override.
Push through it. Get out of your own way. Do it scared.
But what if that pushback you're feeling — the shutdown, the procrastination, the discomfort, the annoyance — isn't dysfunction?
In this episode, I'm offering a reframe that might change everything:
Resistance isn't always a block. Sometimes, it's your body saying "no" and pushing back -- where you used to abandon yourself.
And when you learn how to meet that energy — not override it, but actually feel it and understand what it's communicating — resistance becomes the path back to clarity, power, and deeply aligned action.
This is a trauma-informed, somatically rooted look at what's actually happening when "resistance" shows up — in you, or in your clients.
In this episode, we'll explore:
-
Why resistance may a sign of healing — not sabotage
-
The relationship between resistance, safety, and the fight response
-
What's actually happening in your nervous system when you push back
-
How override culture can retraumatize, even with good intentions
-
The subtle signs of healthy protective energy coming back online
-
What to do when nothing you've tried "works"
-
A short guided practice to help you track and honor what's real
