Nervous System 101

In this episode, Lauren walks through the basics of our nervous system. Whether you have more sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system activation, it is helpful to know how to recognize when your nervous system is dysregulated.

The goal is to stay within your Window of Tolerance and to get back into it as quickly as possible after becoming dysregulated. Lauren shares tips and ideas for preventing nervous system dysregulation and restoring regulation.

Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: What do we do with students or children who have behaviors and we don't understand what's going on (and we don't either!) because they are too young?
