Workshop: Befriending your Nervous System to Better Navigate Challenging Times
By Anita Sheehan
Brussels: 11 October 2023
We live in challenging times, where overwhelm is never far away. In this workshop we will be exploring our autonomous nervous system, the part of our body that’s always running in the background but that we are typically not aware of - until its symptoms become too strong to ignore. Awareness of our autonomous nervous system and bespoke exercises can help us bounce back from stressful moments and become more grounded and connected to ourselves.
In this workshop, we will cover a bit of theory, the basic make-up of our nervous system -- its elements and what they are responsible for.
This will be followed by interactive exercises to create new awareness of the various states we can find ourselves in and to become active participants in its regulation.
Participants can expect to:
- Gain a greater awareness of the nervous system and its functions.
- Experience first-hand how our thoughts and our environments affect our nervous system.
- Learn bespoke exercises to become and feel more grounded, connected and safe.
Understanding and befriending your autonomous nervous system has many benefits, including the possibility to better navigate the ups and downs of daily life.
About Anita Sheehan
Anita has worked as a life coach and trainer for over ten years. Recently, she has become more aware of the significant role the body plays in healing trauma (both shock and developmental/intergenerational). Regulating the nervous system is part of the healing process of permanently dysregulated states, leading to anxiety, depression, restlessness, and disease. She is increasingly working as a therapist, using primarily the NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), a psycho-somatic method of exploring roadblocks to greater mental and physical health.
