In this episode:
Gregory takes you on a gentle, practical tour of the vagus nerve—the body’s wandering calm-button—and shows how complex trauma can keep your nervous system stuck in high alert. Discover how everyday micro-practices—humming, rocking, cold splashes, sensory rituals, food tweaks, and laughter—can retrain the body toward safety. Listener stories ground the science, while easy practices turn daily routines into real healing. Whether you’re new to somatic work or refining your recovery, you’ll walk away with hope, humor, and a toolkit for steadier days.
