- So, it stands to reason that a healthy vagus nerve means a well-adjusted and healthier you. (mylocalhypnosis.com.au)
- Well, you can thank the vagus nerve for that. (mylocalhypnosis.com.au)
- The reason for this is that when you experience trauma, the brain learns from that experience and creates a shortcut in the brain, so when your vagus nerve encounters a similar smell, sound, visual cue, or anything else that was apparent during the previous traumatic event, your sensory organs pick up the information and send it to the brain, where the brain recognizes the signals and releases the bodies stress response. (mylocalhypnosis.com.au)
