Fight-or-Flight and Rest-and-Repair II
Rest-and-Repair Response also known as the rest-and-digest
response, the rest-and-repair response is the body’s state of
calm and recovery after a period of stress or exertion.
Activation: Managed by the parasympathetic nervous system,
it promotes relaxation, healing, and maintenance of bodily
functions. The SNS and PNS work in a dynamic balance to
keep the body responsive and resilient. In a balanced state,
the body can effectively handle stress and then recover.
