Ever received a message that made your stomach drop… and your brain instantly filled in the blanks with “They’re annoyed” or “I’ve done something wrong”?

In today’s episode I share a real moment from my Instagram DMs that could have easily led to shame, confrontation or avoidance - and how demonstrates the importance of nervous system safety.

This episode covers:
• why we overthink texts and and replay social interactions
• how ambiguity becomes threat for a dysregulated nervous system
• why we assume tone, meaning and intention behind peoples messages
• the difference between confidence and safety
• how e fight/flight/freeze/fawn can show up in communication
• and why repair requires nervous system safety, not just assertiveness or “good communication skills”

If you identify with overthinking, people-pleasing, anxious attachment, rejection sensitivity, masking, fear of confrontation or avoiding conflict - this episode will help you make sense of these patterns, how to stop overthinking and how to respond differently.
