Ashley, thank you for such an informative and nicely written article.
While we can’t control what happens, we can always control our response, and by understanding some of the ways our body naturally reacts, it allows us to be more conscious about responding differently — and thus taking back our own power.
I find that understanding the body through science is a beautiful means for me to work on changing old patterns that no longer serve me — and these insights are precious! Thank you!
