Her passion is mentoring, coaching, and supporting people while overcoming struggles that keep them from living a meaningful and balanced life full of fulfillment, joy, and contentment.

We also discuss polyvagal theory and the impact our vagus nerve has on our overall functioning, especially if we are not operating in homeostasis. We then discuss how trauma can show up in our parasympathetic, sympathetic and autonomic nervous systems, which can be experienced as fight, flight or freeze.\xa0\n\nYou can find Joelle online: https://joellerabowmaletis.com/\n\nInstagram @ official.joelle.trauma.therapy\n\nTikTok @joelle.trauma.therapy\n\nFacebook: JoelleRabowMaletisandAssociates\n\nLinkedIn: joellerabowmaletis/\n\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/furkhan-dandia/support\nLearn more about your ad choices.
