The Dorsal Vagal system is more centered around your Freeze response.

When you see people on social media talking about “Nervous System Regulation,” they are most frequently talking about this Dorsal Vagal system.

Without proper control and preventative measures, this system can keep us feeling overwhelmed and leads most frequently to those feelings of immobilization.

But as always, I am not just here to teach you WHAT these brain systems are.

I am also going to teach you real world, actionable steps you can take to feel more in control and keep these biological processes working FOR you instead of against you.

Can’t wait to have you on this final episode of Nervous System regulation!

On this episode, we cover:

• The Ventral & Dorsal Vagal systems are what again?

• Symptoms you should watch out for in trying to better regulate these two systems.

• Box Breathing - a game changer skill that anyone can use to regulate your stress systems in real time.

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.

The nervous system is broken into 2 parts- the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System.

The Peripheral Nervous System is like a series of smaller towers composed of our various sensory cells.

And just like cell phone towers in real life, these systems require maintenance and upkeep to continue performing well.
