The sympathetic state is what drives the stress response and it runs down the back of our spine,

and there's a sympathetic chain, and that's what turns everything on, like literally, like,

which comes out of your brain stem, comes down, goes

down your neck between your esophagus, your vocal cords, and then spreads out into your

whole digestive system is being shut down.

This is why so many people end up having gut inflammation or any digestive

system problems when they have this chronic trauma response.
