Is Dysregulation Impacting Your Life? How to Recognize and Manage our Emotional Response with Dr Melanie Joy

We are all living in tumultuous times and it’s very easy to become overwhelmed. When our nervous system is out of balance, we are more likely to have heightened emotional responses to what’s going on around us. In this insightful interview, Dr Melanie Joy shares how highly sensitive people can experience dysregulation due to high empathy, weakened boundaries, taking on the responsibility to create harmonious relationships and perfectionist tendencies. Managing the intake of distressing media, challenges around co-parenting, difficult and intense conversations, diet and lifestyle are all discussed with helpful and practical strategies to help regulate the nervous system and keep us grounded and supported. Throughout the interview, Melanie shares a number of useful resources for guidance along the way.
