In this presentation, I will outline how a dysregulated nervous system contributes to lower health outcomes and then I will link those to our lives as caregivers (ie, we HAVE to be as healthy as possible because of our responsibilities).  I will then share 3-5 specific techniques/strategies that caregivers can use today that will help bring the body into a state of relaxation.  These techniques are designed to be used while we live our lives and are accessible at any time and free!  I will also be sharing my story of living in chronic stress and burnout and how I “self-rescued” into a balanced and regulated state, thereby improving my expression of life and my son’s expression of life.
