Have you ever been in a moment where your entire body flares up out of nowhere?
Your stomach drops. Your chest burns. Your shoulders lock.
Someone speaks sharply. Authority enters the room. And suddenly your mind goes blank. You freeze.
That’s not anxiety.
That’s not “overreacting.”
That’s a somatic flashback.
Your body is reliving something your mind may not even remember yet. The flare is a signal unhealed trauma surfacing through the nervous system.
Here’s the part most people miss: when this happens, your system is already at capacity.
In psychology, this is explained through the diathesis model.
You are the cup.
Stress, pressure, and unhealed trauma are the water.
And eventually… the cup overflows.
That’s when procrastination shows up. Overwhelm takes over. Doom-scrolling becomes easier than thinking. Not because you’re lazy but because your nervous system has no remaining bandwidth.
And no one ever taught you that the body keeps the score.
This is why mindset work alone won’t fix this.
This is why forcing yourself to “push through” makes it worse.
This is why regulation without trauma healing feels like putting lipstick on a nervous system in survival mode.
You don’t need to fight your trauma.
You need a somatic solution.
If this resonates, I’m breaking this down step-by-step in my free masterclass what’s actually happening in your body, why it keeps repeating, and how to resolve it at the nervous system level.

Your body isn’t betraying you.
It’s asking to be listened to.
