E 129: Dysregulation Mount Up!: A Look into Healing Our Nervous Syste

• Do you constantly feel on edge? 
• Do you have digestive issues?
• Do you have difficulty sleeping?
• Do you have difficulty concentrating?

These are just a few of the symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system.

When we have unresolved stress or trauma weird things can happen with our body that can be quite scary. A dysregulated nervous system can cause either under-reacting or overreacting but either way it means that there is an imbalance of the  two branches of our autonomic nervous system (the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems).

What about our vagus nerve? How does that fit in? The vagus nerve is an integral part of your autonomic nervous system, that’s the part of your body where we do those things automatically without thinking…heart rate and digestion. Sarah shares some more details and tips on how to heal this part of your nervous system

We barely scratch the surface in this episode on the topic and encourage you to do your own research and talk to your doctor if you have specific concerns.  As a reminder we are NOT Doctors, just your friendly Unqualified Therapists with access to Google (see disclaimer below).
