You've done the work. Released the trauma. Let go of the guilt, the grind, the grief. So why does peace feel terrifying? Why does your nervous system panic when things finally get better?
In this episode of Journeys With My Body, Heidi unpacks the hidden phase of healing no one talks about, when your body fills the space you've cleared with familiar pain, because joy feels too risky. Discover why pleasure can trigger panic, why rest feels unsafe, and how we unconsciously recreate the struggle we just released.
You'll learn:
• Why your body sabotages the peace you worked so hard to create
• The science behind your "pleasure ceiling" and upper limit problems
• How to identify when you're receiving vs. desperately grabbing
• Micro-dosing techniques to build your capacity for good things
• The difference between what's meant for you vs. what's just familiar
• Why receiving feels more vulnerable than releasing
This isn't about mindset. It's about memory stored in your cells. And it's time to learn the art of receiving as the radical act it truly is.
