Imagine if you could mitigate the impact of a high-stress job 🤔.
Individuals who work in a high-stress jobs such as military personnel, paramedics, police, firefighters, and nurses to name a few, repetitively switch into a reflexive fight or flight state, ready to respond to any emergency. The problem is that over time, this switch doesn’t always turn off.
The brain creates and solidifies neuronal pathways secondary to the repetitive reflexive state, which can leave individuals in a state of free-floating anxiety, agitation, reactive behaviour, hypervigilance, etc.). While many individuals don’t identify with any such symptoms, their brain tells a different story. Brain mapping shows that individuals who are continuously in a stressful environment may be walking around (essentially living) in a high beta brain wave state. The high beta Hz brainwave state is associated with anxiety, overthinking, ruminating, migraines, and OCD (Demos 2019).
A free tool that can dramatically help to decrease high beta activation is meditation (although many people with anxiety, hypervigilance, etc. may find mediation challenging when not introduced with support/guidance.
I have tried many different types of meditation including many apps and have found personally that the best tool for meditation has been the Muse brain sensing headband. The real game changer has been doing consistent, personalized neurofeedback Brain training.
