What's Up With Your Nervous System?
Do you ever feel in awe of the human body? I sure do!
In the blink of an eye, if it senses danger, it increases your heart rate, oxygen intake, and body temperature. It instantly produces chemicals, hormones, tenses muscles, decreases your metabolism, AND shuts off part of your brain. It does this to prepare to fight an attacker, run away, or freeze until it's safe.
Just by thinking a simple thought the body automatically fires off those messages. It’s truly brilliant.
Except if you’re trying to go to sleep.
Or take a test.
Or have a disagreement with someone.
Or drive a car,
raise a child,
go to work,
be creative,
or be in a relationship - with anyone.
I think you see my point…
Having a hyperactive nervous system is like having a helicopter parent running your life. We understand and appreciate their concern, but come on, we have to live a little, too!
The worst part of having an overly zealous internal alarm system are all of the physical and emotional challenges that come with it.
Anxiety, irritability, PTSD, depression, mood swings, anger, behavioral issues. Headaches, stomachaches, G.I. problems, eating and sleep challenges. It even increases neurological diagnoses like ADHD and Autism.
Which is why I am SO EXCITED to share this new nervous system tool!
In all my years of studying psychology, I was taught to focus on resolving past hurts, shifting thoughts, beliefs and changing behavior. But often, we’re so wound up that we don’t have the emotional bandwidth to make the necessary changes.
Sometimes we need something to turn DOWN the nervous system so we CAN focus on making the shifts we want. And that's what this is all about!
The first thing to know is that this is not talk-therapy and anyone can do it. All you need is a phone and a pair of headphones.
I'm talking about the Safe and Sound Protocol developed by Dr. Stephen Porges.
It’s music therapy designed to RETUNE your nervous system!
I am offering the program for a fraction of what other therapists are charging because I want to get this into the hands of as many people as possible! Imagine if the whole world could lower the volume on their nervous system?
Imagine if everyone spent more time and energy focused on what they actually want as opposed to fighting the body’s natural defense squad?
