Description

Most people believe that calming the nervous system is the key to healing. Meditation, breathwork, relaxation exercises—they all sound like the perfect formula and let's be honest, they can be beneficial in some ways. But here's the surprising truth: simply relaxing your nervous system could actually backfire and keep you stuck in pain, fear, or illness.

In this episode, Brandy Gillmore breaks down the hidden risks of focusing only on nervous system regulation and why true healing requires more. You'll discover:

  • Why nervous system relaxation alone doesn't create lasting self-healing. 

  • How constant calming can actually suppress fear and emotions instead of releasing them.

  • The essential role of courage, empowerment, and confidence in mind-body healing.

  • A new way to rewire your mind for real transformation, joy, and health.

If you've been working on your nervous system but still feel stuck—or you're searching for a deeper way to heal your body and mind—this episode will show you what's missing and how to finally move forward.
