Hey there,
I know I might be stepping on a few toes here, but I’ve got to say it: your nervous system is not dysregulated. 😬
Sorry if that’s a bit blunt, especially if you’ve been living in a world where “nervous system dysregulation” is the catchphrase of the decade. But hear me out—this is important.
You’re not “dysregulated.” What you’re experiencing is something called conflict-activity.
You know that hyper-alertness, stress hormone spike, racing thoughts, and wild mood swings? Those aren’t signs of a broken system. They’re intelligent adaptations—ancient evolutionary responses hardwired into your biology to keep you alive. 🧠⚡
After a conflict-shock—the moment that kickstarts every disease your body can experience—you shift on three levels: psyche, brain, and organ. On the psyche level, you become hyper-focused on the conflict. Your system goes into overdrive, and it’s meant to do that. This is your body working exactly as it should. 💡
So why can’t you just make the worries, fears, and mental loops go away? Because they’re biologically necessary! Until you resolve your conflict and close that open loop, your body will stay in this amped-up, protective mode.
Here’s the thing: these aren’t glitches in the system. They’re ancient survival codes deeply ingrained in us.
Trying to “fix” them with regulation techniques is like trying to override millennia of evolution.
This is why “regulating” your nervous system can feel like swimming upstream. Sure, breathing exercises, cold plunges, and calming rituals might bring temporary relief. But unless you address the real cause—the conflict—you’re just managing symptoms.
The key isn’t to fight these programs but to learn to live with the code by understanding how to TURN IT OFF. 🔑
And the first step is learning to translate what it all means.
Here’s something you might not know: German New Medicine isn’t just about physical symptoms. These discoveries apply to mental adaptations too.
Every biological program comes with changes in the psyche. And, when you have multiple overlapping conflicts, you get full-on behavioural changes—things like mania, depression, self-harm ideation, aggressive outbursts, ADHD, eating disorders… the list goes on.
In the world of GNM, “dysregulation” is like the word “disease”—it’s based on a misunderstanding of what’s really happening. When you grasp the two-phase pattern of biology, you can liberate yourself from the futile cycle of trying to regulate something that doesn't require fixing.
Instead, you’ll find freedom from:
The physical and mental symptoms that have been controlling your life (perhaps for decades).
The exhausting routine of regulation that never seems to end.
Fear and frustration with your body that keep you stuck.
You don’t need to regulate your body; you need to understand its purpose for the first time and finally turn off that survival code.

Gosh thank you for addressing this, so important!
In my experience it seems like some people need a felt sense of safety before they can address root causes. How does this fit into your view?
