The Cascade of Physiological Issues from Chronic Sympathetic Dominance

 Now that we have explored the basics of Yin and Yang balance as reflective of the Autonomic Nervous System's function, we are better positioned to understand the fight-flight mechanism within the TCM framework. In this context, the fight or flight response can be viewed as a condition that arises when there is a significant disruption in this delicate balance. Such disruptions overwhelm the ANS, tipping the scales away from harmony and leading to the profound physiological and psychological changes observed in chronic stress responses. This TCM perspective allows us to conceptualize trauma not just as an emotional or psychological event, but as a systemic physiological condition that challenges the body's innate capacities for regulation and balance.  

Superficial Back Line (SBL) and the Deep Back Line (DBL)

 Purpose: The SBL connects and supports the entire posterior aspect of the body, maintaining upright posture and facilitating extension movements.

Mapping Bioenergetic Character Structures to Enneagram Types

The five bioenergetic character structures describe developmental adaptations to early relational trauma, shaping how energy, posture, and defense mechanisms manifest in the body and personality. The Enneagram system, in contrast, describes egoic patterns and core fears that drive personality expression.
