Cool It

I visited my DO today. He did his manipulations and energy work. 

He talked about resetting my parasympathetic system. He said after trauma or injury, you system continues in fight/flight mode. Resetting that is a key to health. 

I didn't realize this was something that he was doing. It makes sense. I wonder what impact this will continue to have on me as the weeks and years go by. Sometimes it feels like he's not doing anything.

Flew to SF today. Leaving hot, on-fire country for a fogged in costal city. I love the fog and visiting my auntie. Each visit feels healthier as I am more healthy and less triggered by everything.
