Dysregulation 101

In this episode of Burnout Solutions, Mona delves into the concept of dysregulation, explaining what it is, how it manifests, and its impact on our behaviors and emotions. Mona emphasizes that dysregulation is a natural response of the nervous system, not a failure, and offers insights into recognizing dysregulated states. The episode covers the concept of the 'window of tolerance' and how factors like physical and emotional stressors can push us beyond this window. It also touches on the importance of awareness and personal responsibility in managing dysregulation, with practical examples and strategies. Listeners are encouraged to observe their behavior patterns to better understand their own dysregulation ahead of next week's episode, which will focus on strategies for returning to a regulated state.
