In this powerful solo episode of Growing Tall Poppies, Dr. Nat Green dives deep into the intricate workings of our nervous system and the crucial role our nervous system plays in trauma recovery and post-traumatic growth.
She guides listeners through the basics of the nervous system, explaining its division into the central and peripheral systems, and focusing on the autonomic nervous system, which controls unconscious functions. Dr. Nat highlights the importance of understanding the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) branches, using the Polyvagal Theory as a framework to explain the body's response to trauma.
Listeners will learn about the three main states of the nervous system: safe and social, fight or flight, and freeze. Dr. Nat discusses how trauma can disrupt these states, leading to chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, and physical health issues. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing these states and offers practical strategies to help regulate the nervous system. She encourages listeners to practice these techniques regularly to rewire their nervous systems and foster post-traumatic growth.
