Loved everything about this! Clear explanations of our bodies different responses to stress and some great examples of ways to practice training the nervous system manageable stress.

Changing that “safe” response - facing the uncomfortable, resting when necessary/warranted - is some of the hardest and most rewarding work that I’ve done.

Thank you, Laura! I definitely agree with that last sentence-- true for me too. So, so hard.

Always interesting and informative Laura. I have a sensitive nervous system that gets overstimulated so easily. I love your term panic town, I've visited that town many times!

Thanks, Anne-- you and I are quite similar in that way (and others!!). Also-- thinking of it as "Panic Town" makes me laugh and de-potentiates it a bit. 😂
