I'm Not Fucked Up, I'm Detoxing
from You Are Not Crazy · host Jessica Knight
If you've ever thought "what is wrong with me?" after leaving a toxic relationship — this episode is for you. I break down why the anxiety, hypervigilance, and panic that show up after you leave aren't signs that you're damaged. They're signs that your nervous system did exactly what it was trained to do. I walk you through the difference between anxious attachment and trauma-conditioned hypervigilance, why healing feels worse before it feels better, and what it actually looks like to slowly teach your nervous system that the threat is over.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.
