In this episode, Morgan brings on Lex Bates, a Holistic Mental Health Coach and Psychotherapist. Lex specializes in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Parts Work (IFS), alchemizing spirituality with nervous system healing. She shares her journey through years of chronic illness and disconnection from her body, which ultimately was the catalyst for her to help others find safety and regulation from within. Lex is a wealth of knowledge on the nervous system as she helps her clients break patterns, get unstuck, foster a deeper connection with their body and empower them to take meaningful steps toward a soul-aligned life.

They discuss:

• The connection between physical and mental health
• Top-down vs. bottom-up approaches to healing
• An explanation of different nervous system states and how to re-establish safety in each one
• The power of Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems
• Common factors that dysregulate the nervous system
• How to begin trusting and working with all parts of yourself
• Signs that indicate you're regulating your nervous system and body
