What is a Dysregulated Nervous System?
A dysregulated nervous system refers to a state of imbalance or dysfunction within the body’s central control network or central nervous system. This intricate system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and a vast array of sensory and motor nerves, acts as the command center for all bodily functions. When working optimally, the nervous system maintains a delicate balance, allowing us to respond appropriately to our environment and maintain overall health and well-being.
However, when the nervous system becomes dysregulated, it can lead to many symptoms and challenges that affect every aspect of a child’s quality of life. These may include:
Emotional difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, or mood swings
Behavioral issues like impulsivity, aggression, or social withdrawal
Cognitive challenges, including difficulty focusing, learning, or remembering
Physical symptoms, such as chronic pain, digestive issues, or sleep disturbances
Immune system dysfunction, such as chronic inflammation, congestion, or coughing
The 4 common things that cause dysregulation:
Traumas - physical stress on the body. This can start in utero with malpositioning, the birth process, falling, and tongue/lip releases.
Toxins - chemical stress like the quality of our food, water, air, fragrances and medication.
Thoughts - emotional stress.
Technology - our devices.
