Title:  When Stillness Feels Dangerous:  Why the Nervous System Becomes Addicted to Non-Peace

Arc:  The Anatomy of Non-Peace - A Vybrational Guide to Becoming Joy

In Episode Three of The Anatomy of Non-Peace arc, Coach Paul Shepardson delivers one of the most clarifying and transformative teachings of the entire series — a revelation that instantly shifts how we understand peace, resistance, and the nervous system.

This episode breaks open the truth that you are not resistant to peace — your nervous system is simply familiar with non-peace.
Your baseline has learned survival so deeply that calm feels unsafe, quiet feels threatening, and joy feels destabilizing.

Inside this powerful teaching, you’ll explore:

• Why the nervous system chooses familiar stress over unfamiliar calm
• How chaos becomes chemically soothing and why stillness can trigger discomfort
• Why joy feels destabilizing when your baseline is wired for vigilance
• The “restless peace phenomenon” — the anxiety that shows up when life finally gets quiet
• How the body becomes addicted to overthinking, attention, and internal threat-scanning
• The spiritual and scientific truth behind nervous system rewiring
• A guided, heart-centered practice that teaches the body how to sense safety inside stillness

This episode dissolves shame, releases self-blame, and reframes your entire healing journey by revealing a powerful truth:

Your struggle with peace is not a flaw — it is a habit the body learned… and one it can unlearn.

A deeply important, foundational episode for anyone ready to break free from survival mode and reclaim the joy that has always been theirs.
