Understanding Your Nervous System: Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic
Your central nervous system has two parts, sympathetic and parasympathetic. Here's a short description to help you understand this in a practical way.
Sympathetic:
The fight-or-flight mode. If you can’t fight or flee, you freeze, which leads to procrastination, overwhelm, and even PTSD-like symptoms. In a car this would be the pedal you push to go.
Parasympathetic:
The rest-and-digest mode. Think of it like paraplegia—your body must stop, calm down, and reset. In a car, this is the brake pedal. You can't keep driving; somewhere you must use the brakes, and if the brakes fail, you're in a lot of trouble.

Many clients say, “I know what I need to do, but I just can’t get myself to do it.” That’s the freeze response. It’s not laziness – it's biology.

Don't wait till it's too late; get hold of us today and take your health to the next level.

A Real-Life Case: The Single Mom in Survival Mode
Today, we’re sharing a typical client story to illustrate the kind of consultation and counselling we offer. She’s a single mom, running her own business while raising her children. Recently, the father of her minor children lost his job, which meant she had to take on extra clients to compensate for the loss of child support.
This is more than just stress – it's chronic survival mode. She’s barely coming up for air, and like many of us, she’s not breathing properly. When your body is stuck in “go-go-go” fight-or-flight mode, your central nervous system is in overdrive. And when this continues unchecked, it leads to something called oxidative stress.
I taught her how to regulate her emotions and prevent burnout with a basic understanding of the nervous system and a routine she can follow each night to release the pressure of the day and wake up relaxed, with enough sleep and rejuvenated, ready to take on all the challenges that will present themselves the following day.

Managing your nervous system is the key to stress management and burnout. When your body is stuck in “go-go-go” fight-or-flight mode, your central nervous system is in overdrive, leading to oxidative stress.
This means your cells are starved of oxygen, which disrupts nutrition absorption, hydration, and toxin release, ultimately causing inflammation, fatigue, and hormonal imbalance. Daily restoration and decompression routines are essential to prevent emotional dysregulation and maintain overall wellness.
