You’re Not Triggered, You’re Dysregulated: Managing The Nervous System & Regulating Emotions

Dysregulation is often referred to as being triggered or upset. Quite often people who are unaware of their dysregulation are angry, explosive, or they might shut down or be overly emotional. Dysregulation can be exaggerated by difficult past experiences – especially in childhood. It is also useful to understand that dysregulation is the CORRECT expression of a properly functioning nervous system – everyone can become dysregulated at times.

There’s even better news – you’re NOT broken! The body has natural ways that it self-regulates, and you can easily learn and employ these strategies to help get the body in a calm, relaxed state so that you can start to feel better.

This book might be for you if you notice:

• Inability to regulate emotions or moods
• Inability to control impulses or behavior
• Difficulty maintaining attention or focus
• Difficulty with self-soothing behaviors, such as eating, sleeping, or substance use

The feeling of dysregulation can be described as a feeling of panic, fear, or overwhelm. Stress can be toxic to the body, and can even become a neurotoxin if cortisol is left unchecked.

This book will give you easy-to-use, and easy-to-understand methods of regulating the nervous system and a better understanding of why and how they work.
