Somatic Healing for Wellness-Focused Women

(#123) Why You Feel Constantly On Edge & Ways to Regulate Your Nervous System


Listen Later

Do you feel constantly on edge, anxious, or like you can’t fully relax no matter how much you try?

In this episode of Somatic Healing for Wellness-Focused Women, Rae explores why your nervous system may be stuck in survival mode and how that impacts your ability to feel calm, grounded, and safe in your body.

You’ll learn how your system may be operating in one of the four trauma responses—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—and how these patterns can show up as chronic stress, overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, or emotional numbness. 

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

  •  Why you feel constantly on edge or unable to relax (nervous system perspective) 
  •  The 4 trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how to recognize them 
  •  How chronic stress, trauma, and burnout keep your body in survival mode
  •  How to begin building a deeper sense of safety, regulation, and resilience

🌿 This episode is for you if:

  •  You feel anxious, overwhelmed, or “on edge” most of the time 
  •  You struggle to slow down or feel safe in stillness 
  •  You tend to overthink, people-please, or shut down 
  •  You want real tools to regulate your nervous system—not just “think positive”
