Frequently Asked Questions
Can my nervous system really decide its own "volume" without me doing anything?
Yes. This is "Systemic Autonomy." The nervous system is a self-regulating structure. When given the right conditions—safety and low stimulus—it will automatically adjust its own volume to reach equilibrium. You don't "do" regulation; you "allow" it. By providing the structural environment for rest, you are giving your body's autonomous systems the space to do the work they were designed to do for millions of years.
How do I support my nervous system's "autonomy"?
By "getting out of the way." Most people try to regulate through more "doing" (analysis, deep breathing exercises, self-talk). In the model, we prioritize "non-interference." Stop evaluating your state and stop trying to "fix" your volume. When the Status & Control system lets go, the body's natural homeostatic loops can finally finish their work, returning you to a state of balance without any mental effort.
