Mental Health Stress

When a traumatic event occurs, our body triggers its “fight or flight” response. In many scenarios, the emotional reactions of this response get trapped, disrupting the feedback loop between our mind and body, leading to an imbalance in our nervous system function. Over time this can cause chronic stress, pain, high blood pressure, and a weakened immune system. This, alongside regular triggers in our everyday life, will manifest into a disconnection between our mind and body and create a constant feeling of dissociation from our emotions, with minimal control over how we feel.

We all reach a point in our life where the urge to understand ourselves becomes irresistible. We might ponder, What is causing these emotions within me? and What steps can I take to navigate through these intense feelings and find peace within myself? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

This book offers practical insight and engaging exercises to guide listeners on their journey through understanding and healing.

Negative thinking happens automatically–it’s not your fault. You tell yourself that today will be a better day, but your brain tells you the opposite, and you slip back into old negative habits.
