Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, host Laura Reagan LCSW-C interviews nervous system expert and somatic practitioner Irene Lyon about her work using many bottom-up methods to help individuals with nervous system dysregulation due to trauma.

In this conversation you'll hear:

• how to pace the process
• what nervous system regulation is
• the beliefs that arise from our threat response systems
• and much more!
