Trauma left me anxious, hypervigilant, and depleted. I thought it was "just who I was," until I discovered the truth: a dysregulated nervous system is not a permanent identity. It's a state — and states can change. With compassion, knowledge, and small daily practices, you can begin to heal. This book blends science with lived experience — but above all, it is written from a trauma-informed place.

Every era has its challenges, but ours seem to be majoring in anxiety. Bombarded (via screens) by constant global conflicts, rancorous politics, and church scandals, today we endure seemingly endless external stressors. The reasons are easy to find—division in politics and the pews, caring for kids or aging parents, and the rapid impact of social media on our psyches, to name a few. While exploring these origins may hold some benefit, Sara Billups is concerned with right now: How do we live well in the presence of pervasive personal and collective anxiety?

Dysregulation is often referred to as being triggered or upset. Quite often people who are unaware of their dysregulation are angry, explosive, or they might shut down or be overly emotional. Dysregulation can be exaggerated by difficult past experiences - especially in childhood. It is also useful to understand that dysregulation is the CORRECT expression of a properly functioning nervous system - everyone can become dysregulated at times.

Images and sounds of war, natural disasters, and human-made devastation explicitly surround us and implicitly leave their imprint in our muscles, our belly and heart, our nervous systems, and the brains in our skulls. We each experience more digital data than we are capable of processing in a day, and this is leading to a loss of empathy and human contact. This loss of leisurely, sustained, face-to-face connection is making true presence a rare experience for many of us, and is neurally ingraining fast pace and split attention as the norm.

The Nervous System Solution is the book I needed but couldn’t find. A companion to the Twelve Steps, written not for the mind alone but for the parts of us that hold pain in our skin, our breath, and deep in our core. This isn’t about white-knuckling it or doing recovery the “right” way. It’s about softening, staying, and learning how to feel again. What unfolded as I wrote wasn’t a textbook or a treatment plan. It was a living experience, my own and others, of what recovery looks like when we stop trying to think our way through pain and begin to feel our way toward safety.

Most of us are self-aware, know a lot about parenting, and already have a lot of tools in our toolbox. We know our triggers and when they are triggered; we know about regulation; and we even have lists of scripts and are knowledgeable about what experts think we should do and say in those moments.
