A simple analogy for nervous system healing

Hey there YouTube community!What I've found is that a good ol' analogy can be one of the better tools for teaching complex science, so today I want to share a favourite I’ve been using the past few years. Alsom I'm super excited about today's video because it is something I find myself using over and over again when teaching the basics of nervous system healing.

It parallels how learning a second language as an adult, and mastering it, is the equivalent to creating nervous system regulation in a system that never got it.

I want to keep this short today so press play (if you haven't already!) to get this gem of an analogy.
