About this Episode
Ever find yourself snapping at someone out of nowhere, feeling the urge to run from a situation, shutting down completely, or agreeing to things just to keep the peace? These are all ways our bodies respond to stress—and you’re not alone in experiencing them. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses. We’ll explore how your nervous system reacts when it senses a threat (real or imagined) and, more importantly, how to reset when you feel stuck in survival mode.
Whether you tend to lash out, shut down, run away, or people-please, there are practical tools to help you come back to a place of calm—and we’ll explore how biblical truths can guide us there too.
Rooting for you,
Jessica
