This long form Q&A was originally released on June 17, 2025 as part of a info session for my starter course, the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up. In addition to general education on the new traumatology, and in relationship to how I teach my work online which helps people heal trauma and restore nervous system regulation, there were a decent amount of questions submitted! Lots to listen to and learn. See the timestamps below for topics covered. Enjoy! Irene. Here's the original Q&A: https://www.youtube.com/live/A1jKEDYElzo?si=fDkG4FLdZYLRZQSE 🧠 Start your nervous system healing journey: https://21daytuneup.com/ 🔥 Get on the waitlist for SmartBody SmartMind™ (SBSM): https://smartbodysmartmind.com/ 💧 Join a drop-in class: https://irenelyon.com/drop-in-class-1 ✉️ Weekly newsletter sign-up: https://irenelyon.com/ Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome, housekeeping & introduction to my Q&A from June 2025, playlists, and live section of my channel 00:02:53 Start of Live Stream from June 2025 - 'what life with a regulated nervous system looks like' 00:03:27 Background information for folks who may be new here 00:04:24 FAQ page and 10 commonly asked questions: https://21daytuneup.com 00:04:50 Introduction to the nervous system for health 00:05:30 Simple orienting practice guidance 00:07:40 Nervous System 101 (Central and Peripheral Branches) 00:08:30 Role of the Peripheral Nervous System 00:09:43 Understanding the Autonomic Nervous System 00:11:30 Survival responses - fight, flight, freeze and shutdown/collapse 00:13:08 How stress hijacks the autonomic nervous system 00:16:23 Key things that occur when we have a regulated nervous system 00:24:38 Understanding the importance of building foundations 00:28:09 What is life with a regulated nervous system? 00:31:19 Question: Does perimenopause affect a woman's ability to be regulated, or does regulation look different in different stages of life? 00:34:27 Understanding the Diaphragms of the body and flow of chi (energy) 00:36:19 Question: Can you talk about how water fasting aids in the healing of the nervous system, not just a day of it, but long fasts like a 100-hour fast? 00:38:50 Question: Recently, my massage therapist did a treatment that stimulated my parasympathetic nervous system, and for several days, I felt calm and present, but a lot slower than normal for me, which made it difficult to get things accomplished. Why is that? 00:46:40 Question: I'd love to know about how someone with a history of capital "T" trauma in childhood would be aware of when the nervous system is actually in a state of real regulation in everyday life, and not a state of suppressing or hiding old pain and living in fragmentation. How would a person know? 00:54:04 Question: Are you able to study a new career while doing this nervous system work? 00:56:06 Question: When I feel a strong feeling or sensation, I feel it for many hours a day. I drop everything and just give it my full attention, but this hinders my life. Is this the healthy way forward, or do you think I should force myself to do things? 01:01:26 Question: I've been trying to orient for two years now, and every time I look at my hands for two seconds or feel my feet for two seconds, I get weak, extreme anxiety and gut reaction. Is it possible that SBSM (SmartBody SmartMind) or 21 Days is too much? I have a 9 out of 10 ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score. 01:08:38 Question: I have a question regarding "tackling" anxiety when working with the nervous system. How does it relate, and how do I go about it? Are there any hacks? 01:14:10 Question: I've been in a deep dorsal vagus chronic freeze of my neck muscles since being diagnosed with cancer three years ago. Now I understand this is my nervous system, not feeling safe. It has also affected my eating habits. I find every video on how to temporarily calm myself, but nothing touches the deep, stored trauma. Can your courses help me? 01:18:37 Question: I'm curious to know if you incorporate mindfulness into your programs? 01:20:31 Wrap up summary ____ Thank you for being here! 1.
