When Pain Keeps You in Fight or Flight

Описание: Chronic pain can leave your body feeling stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. In this episode, Debbie explains how the nervous system responds to pain and why many women living with ongoing pain feel tense, anxious, fatigued, or unable to fully relax.

When pain becomes chronic, the nervous system can struggle to return to a sense of safety. Muscles stay tight. Breathing becomes shallow. Sleep is disrupted. You may find yourself constantly trying to figure out how to fix everything. This episode explores a different starting point: helping your nervous system learn that it is safe to calm down.

Debbie shares simple ways to begin shifting toward rest and digest, including calming activities and diaphragmatic breathing. This conversation is for women who feel worn down by the constant stress of managing pain and are looking for clarity without pressure.
