New use of nervous system theory

The theories that Anna Maria Olsen bases her work on are recognized and well-known. What is new in her approach is the combination of theories about the autonomic nervous system, the alternation between sympathetic and parasympathetic, and the feminine and masculine energies.

“Imagine that you are driving on a road with two ditches. If you go too far out to the sides, you risk driving into the ditch and getting stuck. The same applies if you are too much in one energy or the other and do not achieve interaction and balance in the nervous system,” Anna Maria explains.

Self-care in the healthcare system is suffering

Anna Maria Olsen's theory can not only be applied at the individual level. Her own experiences as a doctor in various hospitals have given her special insight into how the healthcare system's self-care suffers.

“Healthcare workers are fleeing from the public healthcare system to the private one, and those who don't flee are fighting for as long as they can. Could it be that the problem lies in the fact that self-care is being downgraded in favor of a masculine overcompensation of fight or flight? In my opinion, it is useless to try to combat fight or flight with masculine energy, but on the contrary, it makes sense to keep the focus on the solutions that will make the public health service more attractive. The feeling of being seen and heard and appreciated is important for well-being,” says Anna Maria Olsen.
