Reset Your Nervous System: Actionable Advice for Stress, Burnout, and Trauma | Linda Thai

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, party people. How we doing? So here's something I know from looking at the download numbers, looking at

which episodes perform the best for us. You guys seem to really like episodes about how to regulate your nervous system, which I take as a sign that many of you feel fried and frazzled and stressed and burned out and anxious and even traumatized, and moreover, that you realize that your body is carrying all of this stuff. The good news, and you really can't hear this enough, is that there are ways to work with all of this and maybe even release it. And my guest today is a maestro in this regard.

Linda Ty is a therapist and educator. She has a master's in social work with an emphasis on the neurobiology of attachment and trauma. She has personally studied a whole bunch of modalities, many of which we've talked about on the show, including somatic experiencing, brain spotting, internal family systems, and much, much more. In this conversation, we start with a primer on your nervous system, then we talk about stress, Traumatic stress and burnout, we disambiguate those terms.
