A dysregulated nervous system means you're persistently stuck in "survival mode", a constant state of stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. According to Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Therapy, this chronic state profoundly impacts your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Recognizing these early signs empowers you to quickly intervene and restore emotional balance. 

Here are 5 clear signs your nervous system is dysregulated, plus exactly how you can restore emotional calm: 

1. You Feel Constantly on Edge (Hypervigilance)

A sense of persistent worry or tension often indicates your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight mode. You may feel jumpy, easily startled, or unable to fully relax—even without immediate threat. 

2. Frequent Physical Symptoms Without Medical Explanation

Unexplained symptoms like headaches, fatigue, digestive issues, or muscle tension often signal chronic nervous system dysregulation, as your body remains locked in stress responses. 

3. Difficulty Sleeping Despite Exhaustion

When your nervous system is dysregulated, your brain struggles to shift into restful states, causing insomnia or disrupted sleep, even if you feel physically exhausted. 

4. Easily Triggered Emotional Reactions

Rapid shifts in mood or extreme emotional sensitivity, such as sudden anger, panic, or sadness, reflect underlying nervous system instability. 

5. Frequent "Zoning Out" or Emotional Numbness (Dissociation)

Feeling disconnected, numb, or emotionally detached can reflect prolonged dysregulation (freeze response), indicating your body's protective mechanism during chronic stress.  

Exactly How to Reset Your Nervous System

The most effective way to restore calm is through practical grounding and somatic exercises, specifically designed to soothe and recalibrate your nervous system quickly. These gentle yet powerful strategies, rooted in Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Therapy, and compassionate emotional care, immediately reduce anxiety and build lasting emotional resilience.
