“Why You’re Not Crazy: The Neuroscience of an Overactivated Nervous System”
Have you ever wondered why your body reacts so intensely to things others seem to handle easily? Why your heart races, your thoughts spiral, or you feel overwhelmed for “no reason”? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the powerful connection between trauma, the nervous system, and God’s design for your body.
You’ll learn how your parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems work, why trauma can keep you stuck in survival mode, and how this has nothing to do with being “crazy”—and everything to do with a brain that learned to protect you.
We’ll explore the three major brain areas impacted by trauma—the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex—and how they shape your emotions, memories, and decision-making. Most importantly, you’ll hear how God wants to restore the peace the enemy tried to steal.
If you’re ready to understand your anxiety through the lens of both neuroscience and Scripture, this episode will bring clarity, validation, and hope. You are not broken. You are not alone. And there is a path back to peace.
✨ Mentioned in this episode:
– The way trauma overactivates your nervous system
– Why you feel fear or overwhelm even when nothing is wrong
– How the enemy uses trauma openings to torment
– How to invite the Holy Spirit into your healing
– Steps to reclaim peace and emotional safety
– My REDEEM workshop for trauma recovery (click HERE for REDEEM)
Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and join me for a transformative conversation that will help you understand your body, renew your mind, and experience God’s healing.
