Brilliant. One of the things that I have clients do is practice the physiological sigh on a regular basis so it becomes a habitual and therefore an easier accessed tool even when in the midst of stress. Then when the overwhelm and decrease in cognition arises , we can still tap into its power as a resource to nudge us back into rest and digest. Exercise as well is a most effective tool for exposing the body to the feelings of stress with recovery, stress with recovery, avoiding the added injury of perceiving our stress response has permanence.

It's amazing how our bodies hold strees, and other emotions. We are interconnected consciousness machines, and the sooner we learn that, honor that, and tune in to that, the sooner, we can access ALL of our human power.

Saw a Black Mirror episode recently, which alluded to Hooked and Indistractable being written by the same author
