The Real Work with Maggie Sterling

15 - Is Your Nervous System On Overdrive Without You Knowing?


Listen Later

If you're constantly moving like your house is on fire, bracing for impact, or collapsing exhausted every evening - your nervous system is running on overdrive. This episode breaks down why childhood conditioning, unresolved trauma, and urgency addiction keep you in chronic stress mode, plus practical tools to interrupt the pattern.

What you'll learn: - Why you unconsciously clench your jaw and raise your shoulders - How childhood hypervigilance became your baseline - The difference between productive and compulsive rushing - Why slowing down initially feels MORE stressful (and what to do about it) - How to signal safety to your body through micro-moments - The "two modes" trap: full throttle or complete collapse
