Why You Feel Anxious for No Reason | Neuroception Explained

Описание: Your body detected a threat before your conscious mind caught up. This is neuroception - your nervous system's unconscious safety scanner. Learn how it works, why it won't shut off, and how to work WITH it instead of against it.

IN THIS VIDEO:
✨ What neuroception is and how it works (Polyvagal Theory explained)
✨ Why your body detects threats before your mind does
✨ What your nervous system is scanning for (facial expressions, tone, environment)
✨ Why "just relax" doesn't work (and what does)
✨ How to send signals of safety your nervous system can actually receive
✨ Why trauma makes your threat detector hypersensitive
✨ How to retrain your nervous system to detect MORE safety cues

THE REAL ISSUE:
You can't talk yourself out of what your body detected unconsciously.
"Just relax" doesn't work because your nervous system already decided you're not safe.
Your thinking brain saying "everything's fine" doesn't override your nervous system saying "THREAT DETECTED."
You have to speak to your nervous system in its own language. And that language isn't words - it's signals of safety.
If you've ever felt anxious "for no reason," walked into a room and suddenly felt unsafe, or wondered why someone's energy just feels "off" - this video explains the invisible mechanism driving it all.

This is Day 2 of The Change Code™: a 28-day series teaching you how to stop overthinking and navigate constant change without falling apart.

YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS SPEAKING.
It detected something - a facial expression, a tone of voice, a familiar smell, your own internal exhaustion - and it's trying to protect you.

Anxiety isn't random. It's information. Your body is trying to tell you something. The question is: are you listening?

THE SOLUTION?
Learn your nervous system's language. Send somatic signals of safety. Retrain your threat detector.

When you understand neuroception - everything changes.

I'm Jodie Bowen - creator of The Change Code™ framework and author of The Change Code™ book (coming soon). I spent 25 years as a change expert and transformation coach, leading large-scale change for some of the biggest companies in the world. I’ve helped over 100,000 people navigate change and learned a lot along on the way.

But when my father died unexpectedly, I burned out completely mentally and physically. I couldn’t work. My identity crumbled. And none of the change frameworks I taught could help me navigate my own crisis.

So I stopped trying to "fix" myself with mindset work and went back to my foundation: the nervous system. I realised we've been approaching personal transformation backwards. We try to change our thoughts, our behaviours, our lives - while our nervous system is screaming "NOT SAFE."

So I created The Change Code™ - the first trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed change framework that starts with regulation, rebuilds self-trust, and guides you to aligned action. This is change management for your life. With zero toxic positivity. Just real truths and tools to co-exist with constant change.

THE CHANGE CODE™: 28 DAYS TO STOP OVERTHINKING:
🔹 Week 1: Build Inner Safety (nervous system regulation)
🔹 Week 2: Rebuild Self-Trust (evidence you can handle life)
🔹 Week 3: Create Clarity (when you feel safe, you see clearly)
🔹 Week 4: Take Aligned Action (navigate change with confidence)
