The Somatic Bond: Nervous System Support For Pet Parents
With Biggi JungeOur pet animals respond not only to our actions, but to the emotional and nervous system signals our bodies communicate. This course introduces a calm, body-based approach to understanding and influencing animal behaviour through nervous system regulation rather than traditional training approaches Instead of trying to control behaviour, this course supports the conditions where safety, connection, and emotional balance can naturally grow. You will learn how calm and safety, as well as stress and overwhelm appear in the body and how these states shape behaviour in both humans and animals. Through short guided practices including breath awareness, grounding, somatic regulation, and co-regulation exercises, you will develop greater body awareness and learn how calm states can be shared between you and your animal. These practices draw on trauma-informed care, applied neuroscience, and mindfulness-based stress regulation. Each lesson offers a short guided practice, a reflection prompt, and simple daily tools that help create calmer interactions, stronger trust, and a deeper connection with your pet.
Nervous system practices for calm, connection & emotional balance with your pet.
