Meet Bernadet. Today’s share is all about her story, but it’s also about much more than that…
It’s about how her own healing, via the nervous system education and practices that we teach in SBSM, has rippled out into the lives of the children she now works with as a substitute teacher.
It’s about how – over time and with repetition of the program – she has been able to shift from living in a state of “pure survival” to building a “whole different life” for herself at the age of 55.
We dive into a variety of juicy topics during this chat, including:
- Generational trauma, hypervigilance, and not knowing what safety means
- How nervous system regulation impacts our cognitive capacity and executive function
- The impact that nervous system education is having on Bernadet’s work as a teacher
- The importance of working with the horror and abuse of our OWN upbringing so that we can be of FULL service to others, without shutting down or resorting to coping strategies (like drinking and drugs)
- And much, much more…
All in all, it’s another STELLAR interview: full of gems and worth watching to the end!
Bernadet’s healing journey started a long time ago, but SmartBody SmartMind™ is what finally brought it all together for her.
And now she’s out there, making her OWN waves of positive change and fulfilling her unique purpose in a way she could NOT have done before due to dysregulation and unhealed trauma.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (and again) until enough people really “get it”:
Healing happens at the INDIVIDUAL level. Then, it ripples out to the COLLECTIVE.
