I saw a short video on Irene’s Instagram where the vagus nerve was mentioned, and Irene said something about the vagus nerve being very popular to work with today. But her expression hinted about this not being enough. I’m very interested in knowing about her reaction to vagus nerve techniques.

So lately I’ve been having fear of falling asleep like I could die when asleep. Also, I’m having a jerking awake sensation while nodding off, sometimes up to 30 or more times a night. Would this be sympathetic activation? Any tips to calm myself down to get some sleep?

Your entire sympathetic nervous system is on way too much with hypervigilance. But that tight brain stem is a good place to intervene physiologically. So I just wanted to clarify that. “Can you address the hyperfocus, hyper fixation aspect of ADHD and why that would be related to survival and trauma as well? I can get very tunnel visioned to the point of dissociation and disembodiment
