When anxiety is discharged into the autonomic nervous system, this can occur in one of its two branches: the sympathetic or the parasympathetic nervous systems (Robertson et al.
The parasympathetic nervous system creates the symptoms of decreased heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, migraines, dizziness, blurry vision, ringing in the ears, limpness, bodily anesthesia, and difficulty thinking (Robertson et al.
When patients experience feelings accompanied by the anxiety symptoms of the parasympathetic nervous system, they become dysregulated.
The problems of thinking and reality testing might seem unrelated to anxiety, however, activation of the parasympathetic nervous system releases neurohormones which inhibit the functioning of the hippocampus, responsible for storing short term memory (Sapolsky et al 1990), and the prefrontal cortex, essential for higher order thinking (Wehrenberg and Prinz 2007).
By assessing the activation of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems, we can: 1) assess when anxiety is too high: it goes out of the somatic nervous system into the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system; 2) know when affect is dysregulated by anxiety: feeling is accompanied by the symptoms generated by the parasympathetic nervous system; 3) differentiate physiological activation of feeling from anxiety symptoms to help the patient become more regulated; and 4) assess the degree of
