Learn how to regulate your nervous system with the Top-Down vs Bottom-Up approach!
Ben Ahrens, co-founder of re-origin, dives deep into the 'Top-Down' and 'Bottom-Up' approaches.
The Top-Down approach refers to using your mind and brain to create regulation in the system, whereas the Bottom-Up approach uses your body and senses to create regulation and normality in the system.
Top-down Approach: Use your rational mind to understand discomfort does not equal danger! Acknowledge and let feelings of agitation flow through and out of us.
Bottom-up Approach: Use slow, deliberate breathing to bring your body into relaxation and to feel more grounded. Slow movement can also help to release the feeling of being stuck.
If you're stuck in that tired and wired sympathetic state, approaches like top-down and bottom-up can help you get back into a parasympathetic state (rest & digest). You can even try to combine both for more efficient regulation!
