18 Why Overstimulation Isn’t Your Fault—It’s Your Sensitive Nervous System


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, scattered, or emotionally fried after what seems like a “normal” day, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore why overstimulation is not a personal failing—it’s a nervous system response.

You’ll learn the difference between high sensitivity and nervous system dysregulation, why HSPs are more prone to burnout and overwhelm, and how resilience is built through regulation—not by pushing harder.

This episode debunks common misconceptions about HSPs and gives you tangible hope that healing is possible—with the right support.

Reflection Questions:

  • When do you feel the most overstimulated or depleted? What are the common patterns?

  • What helps you feel safe, grounded, or calm—even briefly?

  • What would it look like to give yourself permission to pause without guilt this week?

For the first time ever, I’m offering a 14-day free trial of my Rooted Resilience membership. If you’re ready to reclaim your energy and support your sensitive nervous system, this is your invitation.
