Nervous system regulation is about flexibility, not calm

We often think of fight, flight or freeze as "bad" states that should be avoided. But what if they're actually signs that your nervous system is doing exactly what it was designed to do?

The real question isn't whether you experience these states, it's whether your nervous system can move in and out of them as needed. Nervous system regulation is about flexibility, not endless calm.

Have you ever noticed yourself getting "stuck" in one state longer than you'd like?
