What is a dysregulated nervous system? (And how to recognise it)

You wake up already tired before the day has begun. Your breathing is shallow. You are irritable. But there is no danger anywhere.

Many people recognise this. Few know there is a name for it: a dysregulated nervous system.

The good news: it is not a weakness and not a mental disorder. It is a biological response from a body that carried too much for too long. And regulation does not begin with willpower. It begins with safety in the body.
