In this episode of Calm Your Crazy, I talk about how trauma shapes the nervous system, the thoughts we hear in our heads, and the reality we experience.

I share parts of my own story growing up in an environment shaped by generational trauma, and how I spent years studying science, psychology, and the nervous system to understand why emotions and thoughts can feel so overwhelming.

In this episode I explain:

• Why trauma gets stored in the body
• Why emotions like grief need to be processed
• How the nervous system influences thoughts and behavior
• Why rumination and self-critical thoughts develop
• How new experiences can reprogram your subconscious

Most people believe the voice in their head is just “how their brain works.” I don’t believe that’s true. If those patterns were learned, they can also be unlearned.

If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, rumination, or feeling stuck in your thoughts, this conversation explores what may actually be happening and what it takes to change it.
