Low Tox Life 405. It’s not you, it’s your nervous system: How to tell the difference with Jessica Maguire (note: trigger warning, suicide talked about)
Jessica Maguire is back on the show and while the first show we did was about the nuts and bolts of the nervous system, this week is a powerful exploration of the human experience, our responses, the signals of dysregulation we can look out for in ourselves and others, and the power of helping someone else regulate or having someone who can do that for us, through grief, work, school and just about any of life’s challenges. Main topics this week are:
- The Grief journey
- Our Responses vs ‘who I am’
- Relationships - bringing our dysregulation with us!
- Clues to look for in your body and behaviors that point to dysregulation
- The Online World and its contribution to escalating dysregulation
- The nervous system dysregulation in the workplace and how it presents.
- Corrective experiences we can provide or seek out - what is truly ‘being there’ or having someone who is JUST ‘there’ and why is it so healing?
SUCH a powerful show. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enoyed having it. Plus, Jess wrote a book! The Nervous System Reset is out now. Available in Booktopia for AU peeps and on Amazon US
Jessica (BHSci, MPhysio) is a seasoned expert in nervous system education with a Master’s in Physiotherapy, and extensive study into neuroscience and neurology, has helped thousands of students worldwide truly transform their nervous systems.
