What if you were finally seen… all of you?

In many Western models, healing is fragmented:
Mind here. Body there. Spirit left out entirely.

But what if healing looked at you as a whole human being (nervous system, subconscious, ancestry, emotions, and energy); all connected?

In this conversation with Carlot from , we explore Neuro-emotional Integration (NEI) — a modality that blends ancient wisdom, modern nervous system science, and emotional release work.

✨ And here’s the beautiful part:
In places like the Netherlands, NEI is already being embraced as a recognized form of care — something that sees people not just as patients, but as whole, complex systems with stories that deserve to be honored.

We talk:
– Generational trauma and epigenetic memory
– Emotions stored in the body and how to release them
– Nervous system regulation through breath and touch
– Why looking holistically isn’t “woo” — it’s wise

Immediate Action Drill (IAD)

STOP Technique

S – Stop
Pause whatever you are doing. Create a deliberate break in the automatic chain of reaction. Even a single breath can be enough to interrupt the loop.

T – Take 3-5 Deep Breaths
Ground into the present moment by breathing slowly and deeply. This regulates the nervous system, shifts attention, and buys space to respond rather than react.

O – Observe
Notice what’s happening inside and around you:

Observe- What thoughts are present?

Note- What emotions are arising?

Feel- What sensations are you feeling in your body?

Look- What’s happening externally in your environment?

P – Proceed (with clarity/ confidence/ calm)
Move forward with intention. Choose the next action that aligns with your values, goals, or the situation at hand rather than reacting from survival autopilot.

Why It Works?

Neuroscience: Stops the limbic hijack by re-engaging the prefrontal cortex.

Practicality: Can be done in under 60 seconds, anywhere.

Application: Stressful meetings, emotional triggers, racing thoughts, pre-performance nerves.

The body always tells the truth.

Anxiety. Skin issues. Migraines. Fatigue.

These aren't flaws to fix — they're signals.

The body speaks… and often, it’s saying: “Something is off. Please listen.”

In this episode of the Cognitive Fitness Coach Podcast, I talk with Carlot from about how Neuro-emotional Integration (NEI) helps us decode what the body has been trying to say all along.

✨ What we explore:
– Why the body is often the first to know when something’s unprocessed
– How emotions can pass through generations
– The science of epigenetics and nervous system states
– What it means to be seen holistically — not just treated symptom by symptom
– How healing begins with listening
