Mindfulness & Mental Health
I am starting to appreciate the extent to which stress and a dysregulated nervous system can cause skin issues. My books page has links to free books on the topic that are worth a skim if this subject speaks to you.
- Sabrina Hall has a video that reminds me a lot of my own experience with eczema https://pages.sabrinahall.net/replay I have not tried her program, but this video has inspired me to research more about the nervous system-skin connection — the short of it is that she tried approaching eczema from a diet angle with some success, but it wasn’t until she focused in on reducing stress that her skin really started to heal
