PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to polyvagal theory, shifts in the autonomic nervous system produces three elementary states: rest-and-digest (social and safe), fight-or-flight (mobilisation) or shutdown (immobilisation). Deb Dana encourages us to think of these states as a ladder[1].

Detailed explanation-3: -Enteric nervous system-is the intrinsic nervous system of the GI tract, containing a mesh-like system of neurons. This system coordinates digestion, secretion, and motility to achieve adequate nutrient absorption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your parasympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger. It also helps run life-sustaining processes, like digestion, during times when you feel safe and relaxed.
