Relationships
The best place to put your new brain-body knowledge and stress management tools into practice is with the people we live and interact with every day. It's not always easy and people can be a huge source of stress if they are struggling with their own personal growth and operating from a dyregulated system. But our relationships can also be a great resource for live practice and can offer incredible support as we go through the growth progress.
