Nervous System First Aid: A Gentle Practice with somatic psychotherapist Meg Tobin

This week's episode is a special gift to help you through the winter holiday season, or any other stressful season of your life. 


Somatic psychotherapist, and my dear friend, Meg Tobin, LMHC, guides us through a tapping (EFT) tutorial and practice to soothe your nervous system, including modifications and suggestions to fit your unique needs. 


If you’re brand new to tapping, this episode is a gentle, no-pressure introduction.


If you’ve tried it before and thought, “Yeah… not for me,” you might be surprised by how flexible and customizable it can be.


In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A primer on what tapping (EFT) is, and how it helps you move through the prickly feelings.
• How to use tapping to support yourself and your kids. 
• Simple modifications if tapping feels overstimulating or awkward.
• The key to crafting personal affirmations that work. 
• A live, guided tapping practice for anyone feeling alone or unsupported.
