The Preston Smiles Show Healing the NERVOUS SYSTEM through the Bridge Experience
if you’ve been stuck in anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, or feeling “fine” but not actually okay… this episode is for you.
In this conversation, we break down what real nervous system healing actually looks like (beyond surface-level coping), and how somatic healing, trauma-informed tools, and embodiment practices can help you build true emotional regulation, safety in your body, and lasting change in your relationships, health, and daily life.
This episode is deeply rooted in the work we teach inside The Bridge Experience—a powerful, practical approach to nervous system regulation and rewiring your stress responses through The Bridge Method.
✅ In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why you can’t “mindset” your way out of survival mode
- How trauma lives in the body (and what to do about it)
- The difference between calming down vs. healing the root
- How to expand your window of tolerance
- Polyvagal theory basics, vagus nerve support, and somatic regulation tools
- Practical embodiment practices you can use immediately
- Why emotional safety changes everything (especially in love + family)
If you want nervous system healing that’s grounded, trauma-aware, and actually usable in real life… press play.
