Understanding Your Nervous System (NWL)

The autonomic nervous system is your internal surveillance structure that, from moment to moment, senses safety and risk in all of your internal and external experiences.  Everything you do as you move through the world–connecting to or isolating from others, trying to escape or avoid a situation, becoming argumentative or combative–is determined by this system. Join Lindsey Howard to learn more about what is happening in your body and how your nervous system influences your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and how you can learn how to navigate these autonomic states and live in a calmer, more regulated manner that allows you to be curious, compassionate, courageous and creative.

Lindsey Howard earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Boston University and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Connecticut.  She received her clinical licensure (LCSW) in 2005. Since beginning her clinical training over twenty years ago, she has worked with clients across the lifespan and in numerous settings, including intensive outpatient, mobile crisis, crisis stabilization and several public school districts. She is now a psychotherapist in private practice, where her compassionate, holistic approach to healing incorporates constant attention to the interplay among mind, body, soul and spirit.
