DO YOU KEEP GETTING STUCK IN FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT?

 

Chronic or traumatic stress reshape your nervous system so that it quickly moves into fight, flight or freeze when you’re under pressure, and takes much longer to return to a stable baseline. This leads to emotional and physiological dysregulation, affecting your moods and emotions, as well as your physical health.

If you’re dysregulated, you might find yourself often feeling panicked and overwhelmed, or alternatively being numb, flat and disconnected. You may also experience relationship struggles - shutting down when you need to speak up, or saying things you don’t mean.

Repair your nervous system for emotional and physical wellbeing.

It is possible to repair your nervous system and discover true freedom and autonomy within your own body, so you can live a life without the extreme ups and downs and feel more at home within yourself.

WHAT IS THE VAGUS NERVE?


The vagus nerve is the superhighway of the mind-body connection: a bundle of nerves which run from the brain all the way to the colon, touching every major organ along the way.


Practices to improve vagus nerve functioning build stress resilience, so that when you face challenges or conflict and become activated, you are able to quickly return to a healthy, balanced baseline. This in turn reduces the stress load on all the other systems of the body.

Learn how to improve the functioning of your vagus nerve.
