Disruption of these rhythms results in dysregulation and dysfunction and appears to be a primary underlying feature in all human neuropsychiatric conditions, including post-traumatic conditions. Activities that intentionally introduce rhythm can help reset dysregulated internal rhythms and have profoundly positive effects on health and wellness. We will suggest that restoration of internal rhythms is a central component of effective therapeutic experience. How disruption in the rhythms in Nature and person create dysfunction

When these rhythms become dyssynchronous, functional compromise and dysfunction follow. Examples…
