When We Lose It – Somatic Tools For Regulation

We all have moments when we “lose it.” In this guided somatic practice, we explore how to recognize survival responses like fight, flight, or freeze and gently return to regulation. Drawing on Resmaa Menakem’s The Quaking of America, you notice sensations, use grounding tools such as breath and orientation, and offer yourself kindness after activation. You’ll learn to track your patterns, metabolize stress, and build resilience for future challenges. This practice supports nervous system health, self-compassion, and stronger relationships, even in difficult times.

thank you so much, lynn❣️
it / YOU really helped me again to understand and regulate

I had trouble picking something to focus on. However what I found very helpful is reminding myself not to go into the shame spiral. And looking around the room to remind myself that I am safe. Thank you for offering this.

Very helpful, Lynn. This practice well deserves a spot in my toolbox for those moments when I need reminding to offer myself some kindness. As always, thank you.

Thank you for this timely and helpful talk. Calming. Practical. Just what I needed!
