147. Are You Making This Common Mistake with Your Nervous System?

In this solo episode, you will learn about common misconceptions surrounding the nervous system, focusing on dysregulation and activation. Leigh Ann talks about the nervous system's role in stress responses, emphasizing that dysregulation or activation isn't inherently negative but a protective evolutionary response. Differentiating between chronic stress and temporary stress responses, she explains the detrimental effects of prolonged dysregulation and the importance of recognizing when stress responses are appropriate and healthy. This episode will encourage you to reevaluate your view of stress responses and begin advocating for self-compassion and understanding rather than immediate downregulation.
