About this listen
In this episode, we explore how imagination influences nervous system regulation and why the brain responds to predicted experiences as well as real ones. Neuroscience shows that the brain is constantly anticipating what will happen next, and these predictions can shape physiological state, emotional experience, and perception.
Through a brief explanation and guided practice, this episode introduces intentional imagery as a tool to support regulation and neuroplasticity. By offering the nervous system sensory cues associated with safety and stability, imagination can help expand capacity, reduce threat responses, and support more flexible patterns of regulation over time.
