You\u2019ll learn to identify sensations (tight chest, jitters, heaviness), name emotions without judgment, and interrupt default patterns like yelling, avoidance, over-scrolling, or shutdown. Natalie leads a 2-minute micro-practice listeners can use anytime, then explains how consistent, small actions compound into durable change you can feel in daily life (less reactivity in traffic, fewer blowups, more steadiness). Clear, grounded, and practical\u2014this conversation gives you tools to reconnect to your body and move from survival to presence.\nAbout the guest\nNatalie \u201cNat Nat\u201d Bedard is an emotional healing and nervous system guide. Through a trauma-informed, self-rootedapproach, she helps clients release protective patterns, regulate emotions, and return to authenticity. She creates accessible practices, runs the Lift Oneself podcast, and offers workshops on Emotional Sobriety.\nKey takeaways :\n\n\nEmotional sobriety = facing reality without numbing; emotions are information, not absolute truth.\n\n\nStart with the body: name sensations first (knot in stomach, tightness, urge to run), then name the emotion.\n\n\nMicro-practice: 2 minutes of nasal breathing, gentle attention, and belly breaths can downshift the nervous system.\n\n\nProtective patterns form to keep us safe (\u201cdon\u2019t die\u201d biology) and become defaults (yell, freeze, fawn, scroll).\n\n\nInterrupt patterns by pausing, breathing, and asking: What just activated me? What am I feeling in my body?\n\n\nTrauma-informed care honors different nervous-system responses to the same event; safety and pacing matter.\n\n\nSomatic anchors (hand on chest, \u201cI am safe to feel\u201d) rebuild trust and reduce dissociation or overwhelm.\n\n\nProgress looks subtle first: fewer outbursts, less agitation, steadier baseline\u2014consistency beats quick fixes.\n\n\nJournal after practices to give language to sensations and track triggers, wins, and shifts over time.\n\n\nHealing is partnership, not prescription: meet yourself where you are; slow and steady creates durable change.\n\n\nConnect with the guest:\n\n\nWebsite & discovery calls: https://liftoneself.com/\u00a0\n\n\nSocial: @liftoneself on major platforms\n\n\nPodcast: Lift Oneself\n\n\nWorkshop: Emotional Sobriety (details on the website)\n\n\n\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
