How To Regulate An Overwhelmed, Fearful & Anxious Nervous System
Using naturopathic wisdom, holistic medicine & the polyvagal theory. Welcome to a new way of living.
I’ve seen this in my clinical practice for the last 27 years. In a culture of relentless indoctrination of productivity and perfectionism, we keep pushing through the stress and bounce between fight, flight, and freeze. We control stress by striving, even more, working harder, trying harder, and perfecting. We rely on caffeine and sugar to push us through. Yet, with all this pushing, rushing, and doing, stress makes a home in our minds and bodies. We experience chronic illness, muscle tightness, wear and tear, pain and inflammation, sleeplessness, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, immune dysregulation and fatigue, and damage from using excessive uppers and downers to cope - caffeine, drugs, alcohol, and food. Shut down or burn out, is our body saying we need to rest more. Has stress overwhelmed you, changed your behaviour, brought on health problems, hampered healing, or created more suffering and dysregulation? Please note: this program does not replace therapy and treatment with your psychologist / psychiatrist. It is an adjunct program that helps you create a foundation of health for regulation & deep healing.
Stress is insidious; it draws on our reserves. Nourish your nervous system with whole seasonal foods; good hydration; fresh, clean air; sunlight; movement; a good night's sleep; and rest.
Learn how to flexibly transition between the different states of your nervous system - fight, flight, freeze & regulated.
Eliminate the need for addictive substances such as caffeine, alcohol, and sugar to make you feel energised and on top of things.
Honour and validate all your emotions and learn how to protect your energy.
Reset your gut biome & digestive processes to support your gut brain axis.
Take a holistic approach to managing your stress symptoms - using foods as medicine, herbal medicine and supplements.
Create healthy habits and rituals to support a regulated nervous system.
Heal, ground, create energy, have clarity, perspective, and possibilities, and experience joy when regulated.
Your nervous system is your personal security system - constantly surveilling the scene. Its purpose is protection and connection. Move towards, move away, freeze or regulate. Befriending your nervous system positions you in a place of response vs. reaction when it comes to stress.
