Wellness: Understanding Your Nervous System

Wellness: Understanding Your Nervous System

Find out why you get hot when you’re mad -- and how your nervous system processes all kinds of emotions.

Is that “knee-jerk” response related to your nervous system? The autonomic nervous system is your body’s command center. It is a distributed system wired to help you stay alive, constantly sensing and responding to the stimuli of your life.

In this Senior Planet presentation, licensed psychotherapist Jessa Llewellyn will share the science of how your nervous system processes emotion. You’ll learn about your responses through experiential exercises and gain an understanding of how to work with your natural responses instead of against them. By the end, you will feel more compassion toward yourself for having "knee-jerk" reactions and more connected to your body's experience of life's ups and downs.
