When Plans Change: Understanding Your Body's Need for Predictability
Ever feel your blood pressure rise when plans suddenly change?
You're not alone.
I’d like to share a personal story about my own frustration when my carefully planned Friday night got completely derailed. This seemingly simple situation allows us to explore why last-minute changes can trigger such intense emotions, and what your response to uncertainty might be telling you about your nervous system.
We’ll also cover how our need for consistency runs far deeper than we realize. Whether you've experienced significant trauma or not, your nervous system craves predictability – and understanding this connection could be the key to showing yourself more compassion when things don't go as planned.
Topics We Cover in This Episode:
- Why you really hate when plans change
- What your reaction to uncertainty reveals about your past
- The invisible force that's actually driving your need for control
