5. The Autonomic Nervous System & your ANS mapping session

The ANS Video Presentation

In this video presentation I describe in more detail what the autonomic nervous system is, how it works and how this relates to our coaching work and the autonomic mapping process. It is meant to serve as more as a background guide that helps you dive a little deeper into why we work the way we do in this programme. You’ll likely have heard some of this before in your decision making process to join this coaching or elsewhere. I do believe having a little background understanding can help you deepen into your map and navigate your map, and help you support your nervous system in new ways, but you don’t need to watch it or remember all the terms and principles in it.

Apologies for the sound glitches here and there around minutes 8 - 10…
