How Can I Regulate My Nervous System, part 2
This is week 2 in my deeper dive into how our nervous system reacts to stimuli.
Today we are talking about the “Autonomic Nervous System” and specifically the sympathetic & para-sympathetic response systems.
These two systems work in tandem like a yin and yang of nerve regulation.
The sympathetic system monitors and controls your fight or flight response or “Stress.”
When there is danger, it gets your body ready to react.
The para-sympathetic is the recovery part of the regulatory process.
Once you are safe and relaxed, this allows us to heal and not allow those stress signals to overload in our bodies.
By being more aware of how these systems work together, you can help to regulate ourselves.
If we find ourselves in a state of dysregulation these are the states of burnout, overwhelm or constant anxiety.
Your system stays on high alert and then it erodes your critical thinking and system readiness processes.
But don’t worry, I can help you figure out your stress recovery system and get your nervous system back to balance.
On this episode, we cover:
What are the Sympathetic & Para-Sympathetic systems in our body?
What happens if we stay too long in a heightened Sympathetic response state?
Proven methods for activating your Para-Sympathetic recovery processes to heal and balance your system.
