Your body is stuck in a state it learned a long time ago.
What’s in Your Nervous System Soup?
Ever feel like your reactions are boiling over… and you don’t know why?
Your nervous system is like a soup that’s been simmering on the stove for years.
Family dynamics, stress, school, culture, illness, heartbreak—little by little, life kept tossing ingredients into the pot.
Some of it was nourishing. Some of it left your body on constant high alert.
In this free on-demand webinar, What’s in Your Nervous System Soup?, licensed mental health counselor and nervous system expert Sonya Adkins helps you look into the pot: what went in, what your body is still holding onto, and how to slowly change the recipe so your system can finally feel safe.
What if your reactions aren’t random at all—but part of a nervous system soup your body started cooking years ago and never stopped serving?
Long before you could name anxiety, shutdown, or “going into fix-it mode,” your body was paying attention and taking notes.
What it felt like in your home.
How conflict sounded.
Who was allowed to have feelings.
When you had to be the easy one, the helper, the strong one.
Every one of those moments was an ingredient dropped into the pot.
Over time, your nervous system did something incredibly wise: it built a recipe to help you get through.
Today, that same recipe might show up as snapping, freezing, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling on edge for “no reason.”
In this webinar, Sonya invites you to lift the lid and really see what’s inside—
which ingredients are still working for you, which ones are keeping you stuck, and how to start gently stirring in new ones like safety, rest, and self-trust.
