Summary

Sometimes a trauma, whether physical or emotional, can push your limbic system into a “stuck” state of fight or flight. This can lead to a host of issues, from chemical hypersensitivities or fibromyalgia to IBS or survival-related emotional states. To restore your limbic system balance, one approach comes in the form of a neural retraining program. This system targets negative triggers through conscious awareness, guided visualization, exposure therapy, the pursuit of positive emotions, and other guided protocols. If your symptoms seem aligned with this condition, you may want to consider such a program. https://drruscio.com/?p=30014

0:56.5	I suppose, for a better term, or for lack of a better term.
1:00.7	And essentially what I'm really excited to get into with Annie today is as a clinician,
1:08.4	you can get some people, many people, healthy biologically, but there's a small

1:29.0	mental habit pattern of sickness and worry and overreactivity.
