Why does silence feel so overwhelming?
In this episode of Creative Recharge: Unblock Your Energy, Caria Watt explores why unanswered texts, emotional withdrawal, and silence can trigger anxiety — and what your nervous system is actually responding to.
What feels like 'overreacting' is often a learned survival response shaped by early emotional experiences. This episode offers insight, compassion, and nervous-system–based understanding for anyone who feels activated by silence.
✨ In this episode:
◉ Why unanswered messages can trigger anxiety
◉ How early emotional experiences shape nervous system responses
◉ The connection between trauma and hyper-vigilance
◉ What it means to live in constant alert mode
◉ How to begin retraining your nervous system for safety and calm
Caria also introduces STABLE, an 8-week nervous system retraining program designed to help you feel safer, calmer, and more grounded in your body.
You’re not broken — your nervous system learned this to protect you.
