When your nervous system over reacts and makes a house fire out of burned toast

Is it burned toast… or a house fire? 🔥

Both smell like smoke.
Both make the alarms go off.
But they each require a very different response.

Sometimes your nervous system reacts to discomfort like it’s danger.
A difficult conversation.
Someone being disappointed.
Setting a boundary.
Using your voice.

And when those internal alarms start blaring, it can be hard to tell the difference between “this is uncomfortable” and “this is actually unsafe.”

On episode 211 of Inner Work with MaryAnn Walker, we’re talking about what to do when the nervous system alarms are going off so you can adjust your reaction accordingly instead of spiraling, shutting down, or abandoning yourself in the process.

If your nervous system has been running on high alert for years, this episode is for you.

See you there. ❤️
