Why You Keep Feeling Anxious (Even When Life is Good)
Ever find yourself asking, “Why am I anxious when everything seems fine?”
In this episode, we unpack what’s really going on when your nervous system won’t let you relax—even in calm moments. Drawing from the Trauma Model, I’ll help you understand how trauma wires the brain and body to stay in survival mode, why safety can feel threatening, and what you can do to create lasting calm.
What You’ll Learn:
How trauma creates chronic anxiety even in “safe” situations
Why peace can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable
Tangible tools to calm your nervous system and build real safety in your life
🔗RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOUR HEALING JOURNEY:
