Your nervous system has been trying to tell you something all week
This week, I've been sharing something most therapists miss...
Your body holds the powers to healing that your mind can't reach.
Here's why this matters more than you might realize…
Right now, as you're reading this, your nervous system is running the show. It's deciding whether you feel safe or threatened, calm or anxious, connected or isolated…
…All below the level of conscious awareness.
If you're someone who's tried therapy, meditation apps, or positive thinking to feel better, but you still wake up with that familiar knot in your stomach...
If you still find yourself snapping at people you love or reaching for distractions when stress hits...
If you're tired of understanding your problems intellectually but still feeling like garbage emotionally…
It's because you've been trying to solve a body problem with mind solutions.
Your nervous system doesn't speak English. It speaks with sensation. It responds to vibration, movement, breath, and touch. It needs completion, not conversation.
Every technique I shared this week, from box breathing to humming to somatic experiencing, works because it meets your nervous system where it actually lives:
In your body.
This isn't about adding more self-help tools to your collection.
This is about remembering that you ARE your nervous system. When it's dysregulated, you feel dysregulated. When it finds safety, you find peace.
The cost of ignoring this?
Years more of the same patterns. The same reactivity. The same feeling of being trapped in a body that feels like a prison instead of a home.
But here’s the opportunity you’ve gotten from this week's emails…
Learning how to speak your nervous system's language. Not just how you feel, but how you show up in the world.
I recommend revisiting this week's emails.
But don’t just read them, save them and practice the techniques.
Learning to speak your nervous system's language changes everything. Not just how you feel, but how you show up in the world.
Your body has been waiting for this conversation your entire life.
With love and healing,
Brian Maierhofer (Professional Human)
P.S.
On Monday, I'm sharing the advanced protocols that take this work even deeper in Kimia's Brain-Based Healing course. If you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the source, you won't want to miss it.
