“The Parasympathetic Life” offers you a tool you can incorporate into your routine that will allow your Nervous System to come out of chronic Fight or Flight states. The stress response is meant for surviving physical threats, but it is getting activated when the train is delayed, your friend didn’t call, or someone offends you. This work is about how we have gotten to this point where we no longer have resilience and adaptability in the face of even mild adversity, despite our best efforts.
