Autonomic Nervous System Table: Laminated Card

I have autonomic neuropathy disorder. My specialist does her tests every time I see her . She doesn’t have the time to fully explain this impact on my life. My new therapist has this chart and when I found it I questioned her knowledge and understanding of it. It’s her favorite visual aide. When I got mine because of lack of concentration due to brain surgeries couldn’t keep me up with the chart. My specialist loves it and I told my therapist she just earned 100 brownie points.

i love this tool so much i use it with clients as a therapist as well as the grad students i teach! perfect for novice and seasoned clinicians alike.

This works well as a guide to show my therapy clients how their nervous systems are reacting.

This is laminated. The graphics are helpful for clinicians. It provides an in depth explanation of all the various stages of central nervous system regulation/dysregulation. The only downfall is that it isn’t great for teaching clients about the CNS because it has a message for clinicians at the bottom that could potentially make clients feel less safe sharing trauma because it could negatively effect therapist. Please see picture.

I purchased several copies of this chart for use in classes on stress management and wellness. Students quickly get a clear picture of the impact to their health with chronic stress. Thank you for making the stages of vagus nerve arousal easy to understand with clear visuals.

Every single person I’ve shown this to has thought it was fantastic. I showed it to my mind body specialist position, and they asked if they could keep it on there a reception desk and then they finally put it in their exam room. Because so many patients are asking questions. Everyone everyone everyone is loving the information

This card is extremely useful for quick assessment and explanation of the different states of activation. Helpful for students, therapists, and clients. I think larger print would have been better, other than that, an excellent tool.

I believe it is more for a professional in the field. It's out of context compared to the other material that I bought on the same topic
