Your Nervous System, Explained

Your body sometimes reacts to a stressful email the same way it would react to a real threat — racing heart, tight chest, a brain that goes blank. This audiobook explains, in plain language, what's actually happening in your nervous system during stress, and why willpower alone often can't talk your body out of it. You'll learn to recognize your own patterns — do you tend to fight, flee, or freeze — and specific, body-based techniques for signaling safety back to your nervous system when it's stuck in high alert. Understanding what's happening in your body turns out to be the first step to actually calming it down.
