Neuroception is the way the nervous system seeks out safety cues without involving the conscious parts of our brain. The nervous system looks to past experiences (conscious or unconscious) for answers in present situations. If there was a lack of safety (physical, psychological, or emotional) in childhood or the past, it will adapt its response accordingly.
To avoid getting stuck in repetitive survival patterns (stress, anger, shame, guilt, etc.), it is necessary to provide evidence of internal and external safety to the nervous system through our bodies.
Stimulating the vagus nerve can dislodge fears, resistance, doubts, and confusion to quickly restore our confidence and internal security.
