Why Knitting Is Actually Nervous System Regulation with Alice O'Connell

Knitting may be one of the most accessible forms of nervous system regulation there is, and today's guest has spent years teaching people how to use it that way.

Former TV and theatre actress Alice O’Connell is the founder of Learn to Knit, having first picked up the craft on sets like Doctor Who and Silent Witness. Today, she uses her 20+ years of global teaching experience, and her own journey using craft as a sanctuary during breast cancer treatment, to show how knitting can cultivate mindfulness, regulate the nervous system, and build self-compassion.

We talk about why repetitive movement tells your nervous system it's safe, why the beginner stage is where the real self-compassion work happens, and why so many women in midlife are picking knitting back up right now. Alice also shares two student stories about recovery that stayed with us both.
