Down-regulating a frightened nervous system
For the body stuck in alarm. Breath, cold, rhythm and rest — a sequence for returning to safety.
Educational information — not medical advice. Speak to your own doctor or qualified practitioner before starting any protocol. In a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. Read the full medical disclaimer.
General guidance — freely shared
The public guidance: a nervous system in chronic alarm cannot be reasoned out of it. It is reached through the body — slow exhales longer than the inhale, rhythmic movement, and the safety of routine.
The guidance above is what Bernard shares freely for this protocol, and it stands on its own. He is still writing the staged remedies — when he publishes them they will open here, cautions first.
