INSIGHT

Numbing and the Nervous System

The nervous system has two states: heightened (sympathetic) and relaxed (parasympathetic).
Numbing is used to move from heightened to relaxed, often due to a lack of self-soothing tools.

INSIGHT

Food as a Numbing Agent

Food is a common and overlooked addiction because it's necessary for life and tied to emotions.
It moves the body from a heightened to a relaxed state, as digestion consumes significant energy.
