Ultimately, what's important to know about the vagus nerve is that it runs throughout your body, taking in sensory information and sending it to the brain to find out what to do.
Have you ever wondered why trauma feels so deeply embedded in your body? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes unravels this mystery in this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast'. She delves into the fascinating world of the Vagus Nerve, which acts like the body's email system, transmitting vital information between your brain and various bodily systems. Dr. Snipes explains how this neural network can trap trauma, making it challenging to switch off the stress response once it's triggered.
You'll learn how the Vagus Nerve is connected to most of your bodily systems and how it plays a crucial role in both sensing danger and calming down. Dr. Snipes provides practical tools to recalibrate this nerve, helping you activate your executive control network. This enables you to think more rationally and assess whether a threat still exists, rather than staying stuck in autopilot mode.
This episode offers a compelling mix of science and practical advice, making it essential listening for anyone affected by trauma or interested in mental health.
