Drainage…

How do we take something that has been made so complex and break it down to understand it?

Think of the drains in your house. The kitchen sink drains down to the basement or under the home (think lymphatic system). Gravity helps. What if something is too big or greasy for the sink to break down? The garbage disposal and soap help (just like the liver and gallbladder).

It sounds a lot like lions and tigers and bears… oh my. The parasympathetic nervous system, vagal tone and polyvagal theory are a complex topic that we will attempt to break down and simplify.

We now understand that our bodies reactions are a direct correlation triggered by our nervous system due to automatic (primitive) processes, past experiences and sensory feedback.

Have you ever wondered why it takes you longer to heal from the common cold, skin to close from a wound, inflammation to subside, nerve pain lingers, joint pain will not go away?
