Nervous System Reset: Navigating Safety and Balance with Dr Gina Claxton, Psychologist

View descriptionShare

In this episode of "Nervous System Reset," we explore the three primary states of the nervous system: safe and social, fight or flight, and freeze or shutdown. We discuss how our sense of safety is shaped from birth through our early interactions with caregivers, highlighting the importance of secure attachment in developing a balanced nervous system. Anxious and avoidant attachment styles can lead to behaviours like people-pleasing and over-achieving, while the shutdown state may contribute to emotional eating, high alcohol intake, and other addictive behaviours. We examine how these attachment styles influence our relationships and self-perception.. Tune in to understand how these early experiences shape our emotional health and behaviours.
