14: Buffering
Description
Buffering is an incredibly common habit, so I wanted to take this episode to walk you through what buffering is, how to identify it, and how to gently shift away from this behavior. I share some familiar buffering mechanisms, talk about how our culture reinforces our desire to buffer, and why buffering has such a negative impact on your ability to fully experience life.

Join Nervous System Signals and Safety!
You understand your anxiety. You can name your triggers, trace them back, explain the whole thing. And your body still does what it does - the freeze, the brace, the exhaustion that has nothing to do with how much you slept. Working at the level where the pattern actually lives - your nervous system, your physiology - is what changes it. Signals & Safety is 12 weeks of somatic education and practice built from 20+ years of clinical training. You come out knowing why your body responds the way it does, and with the tools to meet yourself differently in the moments that used to undo you.
