Episode Summary:
Hello, and welcome back to Let the Rest Burn with The Evolved Therapist. Today I am doing a solo episode about what it actually means to regulate your nervous system. If you are frequently on the internet, you have probably heard this term before. So I wanted to give you a deeper explanation of this important topic. The nervous system regulates many of the body's functions, including our response to stress, our emotions, and our ability to rest and recover. When the nervous system functions properly, it's said to be "regulated." But what happens when the nervous system becomes dysregulated? Tune in to get all the answers and insights in the full episode.
