Summary

We’re in Season 2 titled “Awakening the Heart.” In episode 4, Josh and Christi explain the nervous system and why its primary purpose in our lives — to protect our connection, belonging, and dignity — can actually shut down the heart.

A deeper understanding of how our bodies were created to survive can lead to deeper levels of empathy for yourself and those you love. Josh and Christi tells stories from their own marriage that highlight how the nervous systems puts up guardians around our hearts, but how also how we can become attuned to what happened and resolve it well so that our hearts remain open and alive to all that’s happening within and around us.
