In this episode of Reframing the Membrane, we take a closer look at what happens when our bodies go on the defensive. Explore how everyday stress pushes our nervous system into overdrive or into shutdown, and discover the hidden defense mechanisms—like denial, displacement, intellectualization, acting out, and more—that keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles. We’ll break down why these unconscious strategies developed to protect us can actually trap us in stress, and share practical, science-backed tools such as breathwork, sensory grounding, and movement to help restore balance. Plus, learn how quality sleep plays a crucial role in resetting your system. Join us for an insightful journey as we reframe your experience, regulate your stress response, and overcome the hidden barriers to inner peace.
