Understanding Our Autonomic Nervous System to Recover from Stress & Trauma
Learn about the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which controls essential body processes including heart rate, digestion, sleep, hormone flow, breathing & more. Researchers now estimate that more than 80% of health conditions start as an imbalance in the ANS. This talk will answer 3 key questions: 1) What is the ANS? 2) How does the ANS function in its three branches? 3) How do we restore restricted function using simple methods and tools? Using cutting-edge research from Polyvagal Theory, Neuroscience and Polarity Therapy, we will explore how to recover from trauma and increase stress resilience to lead a healthier life. Take-home practices and time for questions included.
