Many of our reactions, including anxiety, shutting down, or feeling on edge aren’t random. They are influenced by how the brain and nervous system have learned to respond over time. This video explains why your mind and body react the way they do and how understanding your nervous system can help you respond with more curiosity and less self-judgement.

This video explains what mindfulness is, how it differs from meditation and why it is a valuable tool for understanding yourself.

Some people try mindfulness and feel more anxious or uncomfortable. Mindfulness brings awareness to experiences that were already present but outside of conscious attention. In this video, I explain why mindfulness doesn’t always feel calming and how those reactions can provide useful information about your nervous system.
