What happens when your worst-case scenario unfolds in the wild—and your nervous system is the only tool you’ve got?
In this episode of Dirtbag Therapy, we sit down with Sarah Histand, founder of Mind & Mountain, to hear the incredible story of how she navigated a life-threatening bee sting emergency in the Alaskan backcountry using the power of somatic nervous system regulation and coregulation with the natural world around her.
We explore: 🌲 What “coregulating with nature” really means 🧠 How somatic tools can help in both trail emergencies and everyday chaos 💪 The surprising relationship between physical strength, embodiment, and emotional resilience 🌿 Simple practices you can use next time you hit the trail—or feel overwhelmed at home 🧭 Why nervous system work might be the most powerful compass we have right now
Sarah’s insights are soulful, practical, and deeply rooted in a lifelong relationship with Alaska’s wild terrain. Whether you're into healing, hiking, or just staying sane in wild times, this episode will stick with you.
