Michele Bolona on Emotional Release, Storing Emotions, Nervous System Flexibility, and More!

This week, we are joined by Michele Bolona to delve into everything related to emotional release. We begin with a note on fear and its central role in creating our issues, as well as a potential reason for storing emotions in the body.

We discussed the connection of emotions to the body, as well as the connection to the nervous system. Throughout our conversation, we emphasized nervous system flexibility. This led to a discussion on creating safety for ourselves and how holding space can facilitate this process.

We touched on the philosophy of working from the ground up to build a strong foundation. This tied into the themes of redevelopment and reprogramming of both the body and mind. Additionally, we explored the role of movement in processing emotions and its connection to the breath. This discussion also led to exploring ways to induce the sympathetic state to build resilience.

As we neared the end, we specifically addressed Emotional Release, touching on topics such as practitioner burnout, self-care, and even sharing a chat about cats!

We hope you enjoy this episode!
