Summary

What does your sleep position reveal about your nervous system? In this episode of Elisha's Space, counselor and author Elisha walks through five sleep positions and what each one says about your body's trauma response, nervous system state, and capacity for rest. Using principles from polyvagal theory, somatic counseling, and Christian faith, this episode offers both clinical insight and spiritual grounding — plus a practical application of the R.E.S.T. Framework for bedtime regulation.

Whether you curl in the fetal position, sleep face-down, or can't seem to stay still — your nervous system has been speaking. This episode will help you finally hear it.

Topics include: nervous system healing, anxiety and sleep, trauma responses, somatic counseling techniques, vagus nerve regulation, and faith-based trauma recovery.
