You can think of stress or adversity as kind of like a downward force on one end of the teeter-totter.
Right, exactly.
Then the way that our body's biological stress response works is that...
We want to maintain balance.
That's what keeps it healthy.
Our stress response is designed to save our lives from a mortal threat, right?
And it works best when we keep it in balance.
So on one side, there's stress and adversity.
And then on the other side, we have safe, stable, and nurturing relationships.
We have regulating practices like breathing techniques and exercise and mindfulness.
We have trauma informed systems and trauma informed care.
And that keeps us in balance.
Now, one of the things that a lot of people don't realize is that where this fulcrum is set, this fulcrum on the bottom of the teeter-totter.
Yeah, it's normally in the middle.
On a playground.
Right, on the playground.
Right.
It's in the middle.
Right.
The age at which you experience a major stressor or a trauma can actually change the location of that fulcrum.
