Welcome back to the Body Wisdom Podcast!
In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of the nervous system. As an occupational therapist with a passion for understanding how our bodies work, I've been obsessed with the nervous system for over a decade. Today, I'm thrilled to share three essential insights about the nervous system that can transform how you navigate life and relationships.
Tune in to discover:
Nervous system's development and how that is linked to our behaviors and responses.
Key components like the vagus nerve
Introduction to the polyvagal theory by Dr. Stephen Porges, highlighting the three response patterns: dorsal vagal shutdown, sympathetic mobilized, and the social engagement system.
There is no one size fits all approach for nervous system regulation and each person's nervous system is unique, shaped by their experiences and environment.
Embracing this diversity fosters acceptance and understanding in relationships, both with oneself and others.
How to prioritize safety and self-support so individuals can cultivate resilience and navigate life's challenges with greater ease.
