Nervous System Safety Before Connection: A #SoRelatable Podcast Conversation with Mos Jef | Ep. 27

When relationships feel tense, distant, or overwhelming, many people try to solve the problem through conversation alone.

But without nervous system safety, meaningful connection often isn’t possible.

In this episode of the #SoRelatable Podcast, I’m joined by Mos Jef, a somatic practitioner and EFT tapping facilitator, to explore how regulation, presence, and embodiment create the conditions for connection — both individually and relationally.

We talk about why the first step in couples work is often not communication, but helping each person feel safe enough in their own body to be present.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why nervous system safety is the foundation of connection

• How overwhelm blocks empathy and availability

• Simple somatic questions couples can ask before engaging

• How observation helps us respond instead of react

• The shift from trauma-bonded relationships to nourishing connection

• Why healthy relationships can feel safer — and scarier

• A guided EFT tapping practice to release overwhelm and return to presence

Mos also leads listeners through a practical EFT tapping sequence designed for moments when you’re transitioning from a long, demanding day back into connection with loved ones.

This episode is especially helpful if you’re:

• navigating conflict in a relationship

• dating after divorce

• working on attachment patterns

• feeling emotionally overloaded or disconnected

• wanting more presence with the people you love
