This blog explores how the nervous system stores past trauma and stress in the subconscious—and how that shapes your reactions in the present. Using the example of a woman who suddenly snaps or shuts down at work, Jeri explains how survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are activated when the brain perceives emotional or social threats. You’ll learn how your brain hijacks your rational thinking, why it’s not “just in your head,” and how understanding this can transform how you relate to anxiety, emotion, and healing.
