The health of our nervous system is crucial for long-term success and resilience. A well-regulated nervous system allows us to handle stress and pressure and keep going. The nervous system is intricately connected to our mind and body, constantly receiving and responding to information. Trauma therapy focuses on working with the nervous system to help it process and heal from traumatic experiences.
The subconscious mind and the nervous system are interconnected, with the subconscious influencing the nervous system's response to past memories and experiences. Chronic stress can lead to physical and emotional health issues, so it's important to work on regulating the nervous system and managing stress.
