Calming the nervous system can be essential for those living with (and caring for) epilepsy. Today I share the breathwork and mantras I use to deal with feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and/or that I can no longer trust my own body because of my epilepsy.

I would love to connect about your thoughts on this as well as your own techniques for nervous system regulation. Email me at thediariespodcasts@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @the_diaries_podcasts
