Interoception, homeostasis, and the autonomic nervous system come together in this powerful episode to help you understand why you may not feel safe—even when there's no actual danger. Hosts Ruth Lorensson and Tom Pals unpack how trauma, chronic stress, and learned woundings can keep your internal nervous system misaligned—and what science shows us about re-creating safety from within.

What You'll Discover:

• The disconnect between perceived threat and actual safety—driven by trauma, not current reality.
• How interoception and homeostatic regulation support the restoration of nervous system balance.
• Practical tools rooted in somatic healing, stress recovery, and self-regulation.
• How listening to the body—and not overthinking it—can transform your relationship with safety and well-being.

Why This Episode Matters:
Feeling unsafe when everything seems fine can be confusing and unsettling. This episode frames it through a living systems lens, showing why self-regulation is key to recovering emotional resilience and achieving whole-person wellness.

Tune In For:
A grounded, support‑based conversation blending neuroscience, somatic awareness, and real-life stories to guide you back to alignment, safety, and greater emotional freedom.
