Why Behaviour Makes Sense When We Look At It Through The Lens Of The Nervous System
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In my private practice, I often encountered patients like "Sally" and "Mark", who came in with seemingly unrelated symptoms but were actually dealing with deeper issues. For example, "Sally" might have presented with lower back pain, anxiety, and digestive issues, only to reveal that she was going through a relationship breakdown and looking for a new home. "Mark", on the other hand, might have been struggling with chronic fatigue and headaches after months of grief following the death of his father, leading to isolation and work-related issues.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">These symptoms are like the tip of an iceberg, visible on the surface but with much more going on below. While we might initially address the back pain or headaches, it's essential to recognise that these symptoms are often manifestations of underlying nervous system dysregulation.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">When we view these behaviours through the lens of the nervous system, they start to make sense. The side effects of nervous system dysregulation can manifest as seemingly isolated conditions with no clear root cause, leading to years of discomfort and unhappiness. If we only treat the symptoms without addressing the root causes, we're just putting band-aids over bullet holes. That's why it's crucial to dive beneath the surface and tackle the underlying issues.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>In this episode, we'll explore:</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">• Nervous System Dysregulation<br>• Loss of Vagal Tone<br>• Changes in Neuroception<br>• Triggers of Implicit Memories</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Join us as we delve into how these factors impact our behaviour and how we can work with them to promote healing and well-being.<br><br>Brand New Training: <a href="https://www.nervoussystemschool.com/The-Nervous-System-Certification-Course">The Nervous System Certification Course</a></p>

Divorce is Not a Dirty Word, with Nikki Parkinson
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Globally, 50% of all marriages end in divorce. And yet despite being so common, divorce is still stigmatised and largely viewed as a failure. There is no established roadmap for divorce, as there is for marriage. It’s a confusing, challenging, and often turbulent path that most people sadly find themselves walking alone.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Here to change this, and to paint a brighter vision of how we could do divorce better, is divorce doula <a href="https://www.divorceandseparationhub.com/">Nikki Parkinson</a>.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Nikki is a family law expert, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaKcQAM1M6w">TEDx speaker</a>, divorce coach, separation strategist, parenting coordinator, co-parenting coach, Parents Under Pressure therapist, mother of 3 and unmarried. Her warm, wise, no-nonsense approach draws on her 25 years of experience in the Australian family law system, as well as her own personal divorce experience. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We discuss all the hot-button topics that arise during a divorce, including communication, boundaries and co-parenting, as well as tools for navigating grief. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Nikki shares her perspective on how we could reframe divorce as a courageous act of self-advocacy, and ideas for rituals to celebrate this important (and common!) rite of passage in our communities.</p>

From Rescuer to Regulated: the Science of Stress and Emotion Contagion
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In this episode, we explore the shift from being a rescuer to becoming regulated, focusing on the science of stress and emotion contagion.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Key Points:</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Nervous System Is Relational: Understanding that your nervous system impacts and is impacted by those around you is crucial for teachers, clinicians, managers, and coaches.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Stress Contagion: Research indicates that leaders and managers can act as 'nerve centers' for their teams, transmitting stress which can lead to a domino effect among employees.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Impact on Students: Studies have shown that teachers' occupational stress is linked to students' physiological stress regulation, highlighting the potential for stress contagion in the classroom.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Mother-Infant Interaction: Infants can catch their mothers’ physiological stress reactivity through interactions, showcasing the importance of relational processes in early development.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Takeaway:</strong> Caring for our own nervous system, especially in high-stress situations, is essential for professional and personal growth when working in roles that involve helping others.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If you’d like to stay in the loop about our upcoming free training, head to<a href="https://nervoussystemschool.com/mindset"> </a><a href="https://www.nervoussystemschool.com/body-transformation-series" target="_blank">https://www.nervoussystemschool.com/body-transformation-series</a> to register.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>If you enjoy our work, we’d love it if you could take a minute to follow us wherever you get your podcasts, and leave a rating and review.
