Humans Are Dope | Mental Health, Trauma Healing & Personal Growth
Chronic Stress and the Nervous System
In this episode, I discuss the impact of chronic stress on the body, particularly its effects on the nervous system.
I emphasize the importance of balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and introduces a practical tool to help transition from a state of stress to relaxation.
I explain how modern life often keeps us in a state of stress without allowing our bodies to process the tension and energy, leading to chronic stress and unbalanced nervous systems.
I discuss:
- The impact of chronic stress on the nervous system.
- The importance of completing our daily stress cycles.
- The body needs to oscillate between sympathetic and parasympathetic states.
- Modern life’s role in keeping our bodies in a constant state of stress.
- A tool for sending signals of safety to the body for deeper rest at the end of the day.
- And more.
