After years of wrestling with mental and physical turmoil during a demanding career with Victoria Police, I found a lifeline in understanding the autonomic nervous system. Discover how the delicate balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the ANS can be a game changer for shift workers and frontline heroes. Through personal insights, I reveal the science behind chronic stress and how it manifests in our bodies, leading to a host of health issues. The promise of neuroplasticity, however, offers hope—a chance to rewire the brain away from a perpetual state of stress towards a more resilient and balanced existence.
I share the powerful self-care strategies that guided my recovery from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. From early morning sunlight and hydration to professional psychological support, these are not just tips but essential practices for those battling similar challenges. Explore the transformative effects of routines, hypnosis, meditation, and breathwork, which have helped me navigate my healing journey. I aim to empower others through my story, encouraging a focus on mental health awareness and the courage to prioritise one's own well-being. Join me in understanding the strength found in vulnerability, as we explore the path to recovery and resilience.
