Season 2 Episode 17 is what you need to hear right now. Jessi shares how you may be blocking yourself from fully healing. You experience a chemical and emotional high from stressful living, the high of your body's alarm mode. How do we as Sensitives uniquely find ourselves addicted to the very lifestyle that makes us unwell? Jessi shares the kinds of stressors that will overactivate Sensitives and explains why we can be so easily impacted with an illustration of a protective pillow. She also describes the physical chemicals and societal norms that keep us returning to the drug of our alarm mode. She reviews the primal drive we have to seek approval from our guardians and how this too can keep us from jumping off the necessary cliff and doing the hard work of healing.

Jessi gets into the nitty gritty of how we as empaths deny ourselves the core needs, repress our emotions, and choose to "serve" others as an escape. A dip into family trauma and personal capacity leads us into reviewing what we are open to clearing and healing in our lifetime. She spends the second half of the talk discussing the physical impact of stress addiction. She shares the lab measurements she uses in her health practice to review and analyze stress resilience and how allopathic and functional medicine treat and approach the results. Jessi shares her personal theory around the connection between stress addiction, overactivation, and the label of ADHD.

She leaves you with steps to take if you are beginning to realize you do have an addiction to stress and casts the vision of how it will feel to be in your healing calm state. Let's together slowly step away from our society's programing and bring in more of what's good and affirming and healing into the world.
