Improving the functioning of your vagus nerve following trauma, helps to regulate your nervous system
Chronic and traumatic stress (or trauma) can interrupt your vagus nerve’s ability to regulate your nervous system.
The vagal brake is the branch of the vagus nerve that runs between the brainstem and the heart’s pacemaker: the sinoatrial node.
The vagal brake slows your heart rate and regulates how much activation is available to your nervous system.
Chronic and traumatic stress impact on your vagal brake reducing your ability to recover from stressful events.
