Bonus | Feeling Stuck in Fight or Flight? Biblical Healing for Trauma, Triggers & Nervous System Restoration (With Special Guest: Melanie Chavez, Christian Woman Healing Trauma Host)

Have you ever thought, “Why am I so reactive when life feels safe?” Maybe you’ve asked, “Why do I still feel stuck in fight or flight—even though I’m praying, reading my Bible, and doing all the ‘right’ things?”

If you’ve ever felt like your body is stuck in fight or flight—even when nothing around you feels dangerous—this episode will meet you right where you are.

We’re talking about the reality of living with PTSD, being stuck in fight or flight, how trauma physically rewires our bodies, and most importantly, what biblical spiritual healing looks like when you're ready to reclaim peace.

My guest shares how she spent years unknowingly stuck in survival mode, even after becoming a believer. Through honest conversation and her personal story, we explore:

• What it looks like to be stuck in fight or flight for years

• The difference between self-help and biblical healing that lasts

• How Scripture and spiritual rhythms support the nervous system stuck in fight or flight (& treatment of it)

• The surprising signs your nervous system is still in fight or flight mode

• Why prioritizing time with God is essential for biblical healing from childhood trauma

• Encouraging biblical healing quotes and a powerful healing trauma quote to hold onto when you’re weary

We also talk about how motherhood, marriage, and daily stress can keep us cycling through emotional overwhelm unless we intentionally seek God's healing.

This isn’t just about regulating your emotions. It’s about true biblical spiritual healing—the kind that doesn’t just calm your body but transforms your soul.

Whether you’ve just realized you’re stuck or you’ve been stuck in fight or flight for a long time and are finally ready for peace, this is the episode to ground you in truth, grace, and practical hope.

If you’ve ever wondered things like:

• How to get out of fight or flight (Reddit didn’t help)

• Why does my nervous system feel stuck, even after therapy?

• Is there such a thing as biblical healing from childhood trauma?

...then, friend, pull up a chair. This conversation is honest, holy, and full of hope.
