Your nervous system holds the key to your resilience, healing,
and authentic self. In this episode of the Self Help
Show, host Gina-Margaret Tiger sits
down with Betsy Kudlinski, a Somatic
Experiencing Practitioner and Freedom Guide, to explore how the
nervous system shapes the way we respond to stress, trauma, and
everyday life.
Betsy explains the science behind activation, settling, and
freeze, and why resilience is about learning to live within your
"zone of confidence." Gina shares her own vivid story of freezing
in front of a hippo as a child — a real example of how survival
instincts work in the body. Together, they break down complex
ideas into accessible insights, weaving in metaphors, cultural
wisdom, and practical takeaways.
