Bye Bye Panic

How to Calm a Dysregulated Nervous System


Listen Later

Ever feel like your body is stuck on high alert, like a car engine that won’t stop revving even when you’re parked?

  • Your heart pounds for no reason
  • The smallest tasks feel overwhelming
  • You can’t seem to relax, no matter what you try

It’s draining, isn’t it?

What you’re experiencing isn’t your body failing you – it’s your nervous system in a sensitized state, working overtime to keep you safe. This heightened response might feel like something is broken, but it’s not. It’s your body stuck in overdrive, mistaking normal moments for emergencies.

In this episode, I’ll explain why your nervous system gets stuck in this state and how you can begin to calm it. We’ll explore the habits and mindset shifts that help your body relearn balance, so you can step out of the constant cycle of stress and anxiety.

If you’re ready to understand your symptoms and find relief, this episode is for you.
