“The vehicle responsible for how we attach is our nervous system.”

In this episode of The Mark Groves Podcast, Sarah Baldwin, a renowned Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and expert in trauma resolution, joins Mark for a discussion on how our nervous systems play a crucial role in shaping our relationships and overall well-being. Sarah, who has previously been featured in the two of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast, shares her wealth of knowledge and experience in helping individuals heal from past traumas and cultivate more secure attachments.

At rooh, we believe this is a must listen episode because:

• Sarah explains the connection between our childhood experiences and adult behaviors, emphasizing the importance of understanding the core needs that drive our actions in relationships. By identifying the root causes of relationship ruptures, Sarah believes we can begin to heal and rewire our past experiences, ultimately fostering deeper intimacy and more fulfilling connections.
• We learned about the concept of “disconfirming experiences” and their potential to reshape our attachment patterns and promote healing.
• We enjoyed how Sarah broke down Polyvagal Theory and explained our autonomic nervous system (our self protective system). The importance of safety drives our nervous system and in turn drives how we feel and understand the world around us.
