Description

Eliza Kingsford is a licensed psychotherapist and nervous system practitioner who helps clients identify and regulate their nervous system so they can get out of their own way, remove obstacles and overcome self-sabotage.

In this episode, Eliza joins Angela to talk about how we can manage our nervous systems, build adaptive reserves and enhance the control we have over factors such as resilience, energy and health in life.

Key Takeaways

Many people want to change but don't know how to get out of their own way. Finding the key to this has been Eliza's mission - the unblocking of that mental barrier that disallows change to start.
Our society, system and culture does not teach us to dream in terms of moonshot goals for ourselves. We encourage it as children, but when we reach adulthood, we add "safety barriers" that stifle our ambition.
The initial sense of optimism and excitement we feel when we envision our outcomes is hard to maintain. Every journey is filled with challenge. The trick is to focus hard on the bigger why.
The goal in nervous system work is to build capacity and flexibility. First the awareness of which state we're in, then the flexibility to move between the states.
