Heidi Engel Season 2 Episode 9

Are you easily triggered, nervous, anxious, afraid to speak out and overly pleasing to others? These behavior could be a sign that you are operating in your sympathetic nervous system; aka fight, fight flight freeze and fawn / appease.

Most of of us think of the parasympathetic and sympathetic response as an extreme reaction to a threat or perceived threat but this nervous system state can be going on under the surface in everyday regular activities. 

Living constantly in the 4F's could be the reason that you have difficulty connecting, creating, loving and living. This podcast is a quick introduction into what these look like in everyday life and how to reclaim your right to live in rest, digest and enjoy.
