Your Nervous System: Understanding Why You React the Way You Do

Your Nervous System: Understanding Why You React the Way You Do 

Building on Session 3, this session goes deeper into the science of stress and the nervous system - helping participants better understand what is actually happening in the body, mind and nervous system when stress builds and giving participants tools to get steady and focused.  

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Understand how the nervous system responds to stress - so they can work with it, not against it
2. Recognise their own patterns of stress reactivity and have simple tools to pause, reset and shift gears — mentally and emotionally — when it matters most
3. Integrate simple breathing techniques into the classroom to help students get centred and ready to learn
