215: How to Regulate Your Nervous System to Manage Stress, Trauma and Urgency Culture with Dr. Nicole LePera

Dr. Nicole LePera aka The Holistic Psychologist was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research. She also studied at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. Frustrated with traditional psychology, she has created a movement that unites mental, physical, and spiritual health and equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. Today we discuss how generational trauma, genetics and our early environments wire us neurologically and physiologically to adapt to stress — either in a healthy or a dysregulated way. She explains how we are a product of our habits and how changing habits, reactions and coping mechanisms can change our brains and nervous systems structurally. She also describes how we can overcome habits that aren’t serving us, living in “hustle culture” and her new book, How to Meet Yourself .
