One of the courses I am teaching this semester is a senior-level course titled Autonomic Nervous System Regulation. In this class, we examine the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is the part of our nervous system that governs involuntary physiological processes, such as our heart and respiratory rates, digestion, and pupillary response. Imbalance in the ANS can lead to dysautonomia, where the body’s ability to regulate these functions is impaired, affecting overall health and well-being.

Thank you for this enlightening article. I am full of uncertainty in my classes lately, as I try to create community and find that many students are stessed and sometimes seem completely disengaged with my teaching methods and their learning. I will work on following your four suggestions and read Deb Dana’s book Anchored.
Thank you, Jody. I’m glad you found it helpful.
