Episode 50
If you have ever felt like anxiety, overwhelm, or a racing nervous system is making your concussion symptoms worse, you are not alone. And you are not imagining it.

In this episode, Melinda Krynen Hill guides Dr. Cameron Marshall and Nikki Fraser through three live nervous system regulation practices that you can use right now, wherever you are, no experience required.

Here is what they cover:
What the window of tolerance actually means and why it matters so much in concussion recovery
How grounding foot and palm presses can anchor your nervous system when you are feeling activated or overwhelmed
Why box breathing is one of the most accessible tools for managing high-distress moments, like right before a meeting or a difficult task
How the three-minute breathing space works and when to use it
The difference between hyperarousal and hypoarousal, and why going too deep too fast can actually leave you feeling worse
What to do if you drop into a numb, flat, or shutdown state after a regulation practice
Why seated meditation is not always the right tool when you are highly dysregulated, and what to do instead
How to use movement as a bridge back into your window of tolerance

Dr. Cam started the session at an 8 out of 10 on the distress scale and ended at a 3. Nikki moved from a 5 to a 2. These are simple practices. And they work.

If your nervous system feels like it is constantly running too hot, or sometimes completely shut down, this episode was made for you. Recovery is possible, and learning to regulate your nervous system is one of the most foundational steps in the process.
