“Irene had a great interview at the Sleep Super conference. She mentioned the low tone dorsal for rest digest and the high dorsal tone, which is freeze, and the sympathetic system activated at the same time. I’m a bit confused about high and low tone dorsal. Is this the same as high and low vagus tone? And I have heard that you should have a high vagus tone because then you are more balanced. Doesn’t a high vagus tone that is good contradicts the high dorsal tone, which is bad?”

“I know dysregulation often causes reduced hunger and appetite, but can the opposite be true?” You betcha. “I’m always hungry, never satiated. When I intentionally eat a balanced meal, I still feel hunger sensations even if I’m physically full and stuffed. I eat more than enough calories every day, about 2,400. I’m overweight and desire to lose some weight, but I’m so triggered by hunger because of the low blood sugar symptoms, so I remain overweight because I’m hungry all the time and am very uncomfortable with hunger.
Can you please talk about working with resistance? I’ve read and watched Irene’s articles and videos on resistance several times, but it would help to hear more about it. For example, I had a breakthrough where for about a week I finally could feel the ground under me with my body. And not just from the perspective of noticing it with my mind, but now my system is totally resisting doing more of that. How do I feel into the resistance?
