Stop Forcing Peace: Why Your Body is Still in Survival Mode

Описание: Are you tired of trying to "pray away" a physical sensation of panic?

Many believers feel a deep sense of shame because they can’t seem to access the "peace that passes understanding," despite their devotion. In this video, we are looking at the intersection of the nervous system and spiritual formation. As an LCSW and a Minister, I want to help you understand why your body might still be "braced" for a crisis that ended years ago.

Let's begin!
The Biology of the "Roar": Why your brain prioritizes survival over spiritual connection.

Spiritual Bypassing: Why telling yourself to "just trust God" can sometimes make your anxiety worse.

The Window of Tolerance: How to identify if you are operating in Hyper-arousal (anxiety) or Hypo-arousal (numbness).

A Somatic Tool for Safety: A practical exercise to signal to your brain that the "emergency" is over.
