About this episode
You do not regulate your nervous system alone. Long before conscious thought, the body reads the people around you — their tone, posture, attention, approval, and disapproval. From this, it decides whether it is safe to open or contract. Chronic tension, self-doubt, and defensiveness are often not personal failures. They are relational climates. Respect regulates. Safety stabilises. Contempt constricts. The environments you inhabit are not just emotional — they are neurological.
