The Nervous System Disregulation Myth

There’s a lot of talk on social media about “nervous system disregulation”. 🧐
While it’s a useful model it’s not strictly true & potentially misleading.
Nervous systems don’t do disregulated or random.
“Disregulation” suggests an absence of regulation. All over the place. No control. No order.
It might “feel” like that.
👉But that’s a mistake. Disregulated is too risky.
It’s VERY regulated. Just not regulated to the present situation.
It’s regulated to YOUR past.
Something in the present moment is close enough to something threatening in the past to warrant triggering the survival response that worked back then.
It’s a controlled, ordered, well regulated survival response - just not appropriate for today.
Once you understand the process, with skills to retrain the nervous system to respond appropriately, you will have an updated regulated nervous system.
🤫 Psst …. it’s also not all about calming your nervous system. An appropriately regulated nervous system is SO much more than calm.
