In my previous blog I talked about the cumulative effects of stress and the negative consequences it has on our lives. Both the negative and positive effects of stress have a direct impact on our very sensitive nervous systems.
The brain and nervous system are responsible for processing and analysing complex information, making decisions and communicating these decisions so we can adjust to our rapidly changing external stimuli. This is a very delicately integrated, highly complex system that…..
