·      Offering presence and engaging with others

Indications that your nervous system may struggle to ACTIVATE & SETTLE include:

·      Having the tendency to over perform and then collapse 

·      Getting consumed by emotions or feeling numb/empty

·      Experiencing disorganized and distracted thoughts

·      Struggling to calm your body once you’re upset
