Self-Assessment | Dynamic Neural Retraining System

1. Did your ongoing symptoms start after an illness (like a virus, bacterial infection, or Lyme disease), being around chemicals or mold, or other environmental exposures?

Yes
No

Understanding what triggered your symptoms can help show if your nervous system might be out of balance.

2. Have you had a physical injury or gone through a stressful or traumatic event that still affects you, even after treatment or therapy?

Yes
No

Many people with limbic system issues say their problems began after something like an infection or toxic exposure, which can push the nervous system into a “stuck”, protective state. Sometimes, physical injuries or emotional stress can keep the nervous system on high alert, making it hard for your body to return to a calm state.

3. Do you have strong reactions to certain smells, chemicals, or perfumes?

Yes
No

A limbic system that’s on high alert can make you extra sensitive to your surroundings. A brain stuck in a trauma loop can create heightened senses or link specific odors to danger, so even mild scents might trigger big reactions if your limbic system is hypersensitive.

4. Are you bothered by noise, bright lights, screens, or crowded spaces?

Yes
No

Sensory overload is common when your nervous system is stuck in a state of high alert, leading to discomfort in busy or stimulating environments.

5. Do you have unexplained pain, inflammation, headaches or muscle tension that doesn’t get better with standard care?

Yes
No

Problems with the limbic system can show up as ongoing symptoms that don’t always improve with usual treatments. The overprotective brain can sometimes amplify pain signals, making pain feel stronger or more widespread.

6. Do you struggle with dizziness, balance issues, elevated heart rate or feel sensitive to movement (like in cars, on screens, or in crowds)?

Yes
No

A dysregulated nervous system can affect your heart rate, blood pressure, sense of balance and how you process movement, making everyday activities feel more challenging.

7. Do you have ongoing digestive issues, like bloating, food intolerances, nausea, or irritable bowel symptoms?

Yes
No

For people suffering with limbic system impairment, ongoing digestive issues such as bloating, food intolerances, nausea, or irritable bowel symptoms can be closely linked to the way the limbic system interacts with the gut-brain axis. The limbic system, which governs emotional and stress responses, plays a pivotal role in regulating the autonomic nervous system and, by extension, digestive function.

8. Do you feel intensely exhausted after physical activity?

Yes
No

With limbic system impairment, the intense exhaustion after physical activity is often a result of the brain’s maladapted threat response system.

9. Do you suffer from excessive fatigue, weakness and low energy?

Yes
No

This pathological fatigue is not the same as normal tiredness; it often includes feelings of heaviness, general malaise, and weakness, and can be so severe that it leaves individuals housebound or bedridden.

10. Do you experience brain fog, memory lapses, or trouble focusing, even when rested?

Yes
No

A limbic system stuck in overdrive can cloud your thinking and amplify emotions. A constant stress response can disrupt clear thinking and make it hard to retain information.

11. Do small stressors leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive?

Yes
No

A dysregulated nervous system may amplify everyday challenges, making them feel unmanageable.

12. Do you struggle with restless sleep or wake up feeling unrefreshed?

Yes
No

Chronic hypervigilance can keep the body from reaching deep, restorative sleep stages.

13. Do you find yourself ruminating on past negative events or feeling generally anxious?

Yes
No

When the limbic system is impaired, the brain’s natural negativity bias can become exaggerated, causing it to focus more on past negative experiences and potential threats. This can lead to persistent rumination and heightened anxiety, even when there is no immediate danger.

14. Do you feel constantly “on edge” and unable to relax?

Yes
No

If your body struggles to shift out of high-alert mode, these patterns might feel familiar. An overactive limbic system can trap you in ‘fight, flight or freeze’ mode, preventing a sense of calm.

15. Do stress or routine changes worsen your symptoms?

Yes
No

A sensitized stress response can amplify physical and emotional reactions.

16. Do you avoid activities or places due to fear of symptom flare-ups?

Yes
No

Nervous system dysregulation can shape behaviors and social interactions. Avoidance behaviors often develop as a way to prevent discomfort, but as you rewire overactive threat circuits in the brain, you can gradually regain freedom and expand your comfort zone.

17. Do you react strongly to foods, chemicals, or environments others tolerate?

Yes
No

Hypersensitivity can make everyday exposures feel threatening.

18. Have treatments or medications provided only temporary relief?

Yes
No

Physical symptoms rooted in nervous system dysregulation often need mind-body approaches.

19. Has your health affected your ability to work or your relationships with family and friends?

Yes
No

You’re not alone. This is something many people experience when their nervous system has been out of balance for a long time.

20. Do you believe that retraining your brain could help shift your symptoms and improve your quality of life?

Yes
No

There is hope. Your brain has the amazing ability to change and heal—this is called neuroplasticity. And by gently retraining your brain, it’s possible to shift your symptoms and start feeling better.

Are you open to exploring a new path that could support your healing?

Yes
No

Taking steps to calm and rebalance your nervous system can be life-changing. The DNRS program has helped thousands of people move out of illness and into recovery. By teaching the brain new patterns, many have found relief, energy, and joy again. Your brain has the power to lead you toward healing—and that power is already within you. You deserve to feel better–this is your first step toward that freedom.
