#4 The Trauma, Anxiety & Nervous System Connection

In this episode of The Anxiety Party, Kerry breaks down what nervous system dysregulation actually means and why trauma, both big and small, is the root of chronic anxiety.She explains how your autonomic nervous system constantly scans for safety or danger, how past experiences get stored in “files,” and why certain sounds, tones, situations, or dynamics can trigger fight-or-flight or shutdown even when you’re not logically in danger.You’ll learn:• Why anxiety isn’t random• The difference between “Big T” and “little t” trauma• How emotional experiences get stored in the body• Why acknowledging trauma isn’t about blaming anyone• What it really means to build nervous system capacity• How somatics and belief rewiring permanently change the story instead of just managing symptomsIf you’ve ever said, “I’ve always had anxiety,” but don’t think you’ve had trauma, this episode will connect the dots.You make sense. Your triggers make sense. Your anxiety isn’t a mystery.If you want to learn how to work with me, I’m Kerry Green, LCSW — a trauma-focused therapist and nervous system coach for high-achieving women who are done managing anxiety and ready to build a regulated, self-trusting life, send her a DM on Instagram @kerrygreenofficial or visit theneurobabe.com.
