How did I accidentally heal my nervous system? What did I stumble upon on accident? In this powerful episode, Dr. Keean and I explore how trauma reshapes our nervous system and how we can use prediction error, gentle sensory experiences, and intentional movement to rewire fear-based patterns. Learn how the brain constantly predicts based on the past—and how introducing new, safe, and empowering experiences helps us reclaim peace, presence, and possibility. Whether you’re a trauma survivor, a healing professional, or simply someone seeking to feel safer and more grounded in your body and life, this episode offers insights into the science of neuroplasticity and practical ways to shift from survival mode to thriving.
