Have you ever felt like grief has taken up permanent residence in your body? Like there's this heaviness in your chest that won't lift, or a tightness in your throat that makes it hard to speak? In this episode, I teach you a gentle Joint Rotation practice that helps your body remember it has more room than it thinks it does to hold grief. This isn't about making grief disappear—it's about learning to hold it differently, with a little more capacity and space. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✓ How grief becomes compressed into small spaces in your body ✓ Why your nervous system tries to contain overwhelming emotions ✓ The science behind stuck grief and dorsal vagal shutdown ✓ A step-by-step joint rotation practice to open up capacity ✓ How to hold grief with more space and gentleness THE JOINT ROTATION PRACTICE: This gentle practice moves through each major joint in your body—ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck—with slow rotation movements. Joints are like hinges and doorways in the body. When we rotate them, we're essentially opening up more space, reminding our nervous system: "You don't have to hold all this grief in one tight place. You have your whole body as a container." ABOUT DR.
