Do you feel like your anxiety keeps you stuck in a loop of running, freezing, or fighting invisible battles?
Have you ever wondered why your body reacts like danger is near—even when you’re safe?
What if the same fight-or-flight response that once protected you is now stealing your peace?
In this episode of Breaking the Trauma Cycle, We’ll dive into two truths about pain and unpacks how our body’s fight-or-flight response often fuels anxiety instead of freedom. Using the lens of the nervous system and survival mode, you’ll learn why panic often feels like it’s calling the shots—and how to take your peace back.
If you’ve ever carried the weight of fear, anxiety, or exhaustion, this conversation is for you. You’ll leave with clarity, compassion for yourself, and a few “aha” moments that feel like deep exhales. Come as you are—messy bun, overthinking brain, and all—and discover that healing is possible when you stop outsourcing your peace to panic.
