Nervous System Mastery #4: Completing Your Physiological Stress Cycle

Part 4 of 6 Nervous System Mastery Workshop Series:

Completing the Stress Cycle

Duration: 2.5 hours
Suitable for: Complete beginners and those seeking to resolve or prevent chronic stress and burnout

What you'll experience

Here's what most people don't know: what causes you stress and how you respond to stress are two different things. You can eliminate the deadline or end the argument, but if you don't complete the stress cycle in your body, you stay activated.

This is why you feel "tired but wired" or struggle with sleep even when life is going well. You'll learn specific ways to signal to your body that you're safe and the stress cycle is complete.

Key takeaways

• Learn the 4 foundational steps to complete your stress cycle

• Experience different ways to mobilise the energy from a stress response

• Pause and integrate insight from your stress response

• Feel restored after you complete a stress cycle

Why this matters

Incomplete stress responses show up as chronic muscle tension, sleep problems, anxiety, digestive issues, relational friction and more. Learning to discharge this activation isn't about relaxation - it's about restoring your body's natural ability to regulate.
