Fantastic article, Kate! I thought I understood the nervous system but you eloquently started to reframe my thinking about it. I will be re-reading and sharing!
Oh Kate this was such a good article to read and I look forward to the next one. Ice or cold plunges and swimming has become very popular here in the uk and I am just skeptical about it as have suffered 40 years of real anxiety and distress? Do you think it might be worth a try? Any advice and links would be so appreciated 🥰
Ahh, thank you Rachel!! I'm so glad you are enjoying/appreciating this new framework. First, I am so sorry you have been weathering such hardship for so long. I hope you know how gosh darn much of a resilient badass that makes you! Second, although cold plunging is my jam (most notably, my body's), I am all about what works for you. Transparently, before I tried it, I also held the utmost skepticism. All that said, if you want to try, I did actually put a whole guide together about it. Its free and right here: https://www.the-healing-lab.com/p/cold-plunging-101
No matter what, please know we will be exploring other modalities soon and this is all about just honoring you and trying whatever feels right. (and if you do get in the cold water -- said with ZERO PRESSURE -- definitely let me know how it goes!! xo)
