Both reflect each other’s roles;
Sympathetic:
The “fight or flight” response must sound familiar… a LARGE burst of energy.
Gets you “pumped up”. Very much a motivation inspirer. it controls your body’s response during times of stress.
ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!
Para-:
Totally opposite.
This makes you relaxed. “Chilled out”. But as it is the opposite of “sympathetic”, it can restores the body. Returning it back to a state of calm.
