why does your body still feel like you’re in danger?

That pit in your stomach. 
That racing heart.
The urgency.

✅ Why your nervous system responds to perceived danger from the past—not just what’s happening now

✅ How unprocessed emotional wounds keep your body in fight-or-flight, even when you're physically safe

Understanding this is the first step to leading with calm, clarity, and confidence.
