Understanding Nervous System Dysfunction
Nervous system dysfunction, often characterized by an inability to shift between stress and relaxation states, profoundly affects healing. When individuals remain in a constant fight-or-flight response, their bodies suffer from exhaustion and hindered recovery, reducing the potential for healing. This dysfunction can be exacerbated by everyday stressors, such as traffic or notifications, highlighting the need for individuals, particularly those with chronic fatigue or illness, to learn how to regulate their nervous systems. By helping clients regain the ability to switch gears in their nervous system, improved healing experiences and overall well-being can be achieved.
