Understanding the Stress Bucket

Your brain is constantly scanning your body and environment, deciding in split seconds whether you’re safe or unsafe, and those decisions shape everything from your emotions to your physical health. In this episode, we dive into Applied Neurology and Neuro Somatics, revealing how targeted sensory training can rewire your nervous system for greater safety, resilience, and growth.

You’ll discover the science of neuroplasticity, the impact of sensory deficits, and how trauma reshapes the brain’s interpretations. We break down the Inputs–Interpretations–Outputs framework, the Stress Bucket model, and the concept of “neuro tags” that keep old patterns alive, plus practical, high-payoff tools to shift your state in real time.

From understanding how systems like vision, balance, proprioception, and interoception influence your thoughts and emotions, to applying daily practices for regulation, this episode blends deep science with actionable strategies.

Whether you’re a practitioner seeking to integrate nervous system work into your practice or someone ready to move from survival mode into growth and performance, you’ll find a clear, practical guide to retraining your brain for safety, adaptability, and lasting change
