Do you struggle with feeling unworthy, being overly critical of yourself, or feeling like you're never quite good enough? These feelings are incredibly common, and they're often at the root of patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt.

Even when we recognize these patterns and understand where they come from, it can be incredibly difficult to change them. We can still find ourselves caught in the same old feelings of shame and self-judgment.

Nervous system regulation can help us begin to shift these deeply held patterns. By gently working with feelings of unworthiness while helping our bodies feel safe and supported, we can gradually become less reactive to old triggers and develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I'll guide you through a regulating meditation using Havening to help soothe feelings of unworthiness, shame, and self-judgment. We'll work with these feelings while helping your nervous system experience greater safety and support, so you can begin to feel less overwhelmed by old triggers and develop more compassion for yourself.

This is the first meditation in my three-part Healing Unworthiness series, where we'll explore the 3 R's of transformational healing: Regulate, Roots, and Re-Orient.

Perfect for soothing shame and self-judgment, healing unworthiness, nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.

In this episode:

  • Why Feeling Unworthy Can Be So Hard to Heal
  • Regulating Meditation For When You Feel Unworthy (using Havening)
