In this episode I share a simple somatic self-holding practice that you can use anywhere to calm anxiety, quiet a racing mind, and remind your body it’s safe. This isn’t about forcing yourself to relax; it’s about giving your nervous system the cues it needs, like gentle touch, longer exhales, and compassionate words to settle into presence and rebuild trust from the inside out.
 
We start by reframing where safety comes from and why that matters so much when you’re navigating grief, legal stress, co‑parenting tensions, and sleepless nights. Then we walk through the practice step by step: how to position your hands and arms, what to notice in your breath, and which supportive phrases help your mind soften. You’ll learn why parasympathetic activation is the key to regulation, how to spot micro‑shifts like relaxed shoulders or an unclenched jaw, and how two minutes of focused contact can reset your day without special equipment or a quiet room.
 
Use this reset whenever rumination takes over, before a hard conversation, or after a triggering message. Save this guide for daily support, and share it with a friend who needs a calm, caring hug from within.
