The Overwhelmed System
Dysregulation occurs when your nervous system loses its flexibility to bounce back from stress. It gets 'stuck' on the gas pedal. Common signs include chronic fatigue even after sleeping, digestive issues like IBS, high resting heart rate, brain fog, and an inability to emotionally self-regulate (quick to anger or easily overwhelmed).
The Physical Manifestations
Beyond emotional symptoms, dysregulation manifests physically. Chronic forward head posture, shallow chest breathing, teeth grinding (bruxism), and tension headaches are all physical indicators of a sympathetic-dominant nervous system. Your body is physically bracing for an impact that never comes.
