Short YouTube wellness segment (by Jonny Miller) that defines what a healthy nervous system looks like: dynamic capacity (ability to hold intense experience without shutting down or overwhelming) and resilience (ability to efficiently downshift arousal after stress without relying on substances). The speaker frames the nervous system as the lens shaping our experience of others, self, and the world.
