Your nervous system shifts throughout the day. This chart helps you notice where you are—and respond with support, not self-criticism.
The ND-Friendly Regulation Spectrum is a simple, body-based guide that shows three common nervous system states:
🔥 Hyperarousal (Over-Activated)
🌿 Regulated (Steady + Connected)
🌙 Hypoarousal (Shut Down)
Each section includes:
How the state may feel in your body and mind
What your nervous system is communicating
What kind of support helps (up-shift, down-shift, or maintain)
Gentle, accessible regulation tools you can use right away
This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about meeting your body where it is and choosing support that actually works.
Designed especially for neurodivergent adults, sensitive nervous systems, ADHD, chronic stress, and burnout recovery, this spectrum supports self-trust, pacing, and nervous-system-informed decision making.
