Did you know our nervous system doesn’t differentiate between different types of threats? Whether it’s a scary voice, a stressful work situation, or even being held at gunpoint, your body reacts the same way. It all activates the same fight or flight response, even if one situation is much more severe than the other.

This is why, in moments of stress or tension, we might feel our heart race or experience that sudden surge of anxiety—even if we’re not facing a life-or-death situation. The nervous system doesn’t have the capacity to process every situation uniquely, it just reacts based on the intensity of the perceived threat.

Healing isn’t just about managing stress; it’s about recognizing how our nervous system reacts and learning how to ground ourselves in those moments. By understanding these responses, we can start to retrain our bodies to respond with calm instead of fear, creating a deeper sense of safety within ourselves and better navigating life’s challenges.
