As amazing as the brain is, it can be fooled. When we perceive a threat, whether minor or major, the brain issues the same warning signals to the body. It can't tell if the threats are real or imagined. These limbic responses -- fight, flight and freeze -- are designed for short-term survival reactions. But if they are chronically activated in hyper-vigilance, the body cannot maintain homeostasis. That's why I say if your mind is in limbic, your body is in limbo. Tune-in to find out if you are stuck in fight or flight, and what you can do about it. Be sure to check out my podcast companion workbook, Why Is My Body Betraying Me? at drskyler.net/store. It's like having a one-on-one session with me. Also, I'm offering two FREE downloads at drskyler.net upon signing up for my weekly newsletter, including "5 Things Every Child Wishes Their Parents Knew" and "Healing Phases: Moving From Victim to Warrior."
