Pathophysiological Consideration
Various innate re-setting or recalibration mechanisms assist us with return
to homeostasis following stress response; for example, crying has been
recognized as a spontaneous biological activity which can lead to the
restoration of balanced autonomic tone (Graèanin 2014). Similarly, seeking
comfort (tend and befriend) or shaking off/discharging the internal tornado
of energy following a threat are also innate mechanisms for restoring
autonomic balance. If behavioral conditioning or circumstances prevents or
interferes with our innate restoration mechanisms, our ability to return to a
normal state of autonomic nervous system (ANS) functionality is impacted
(Payne et al. 2015).
