If you've ever overthought, overreacted, or made a mountain out of a mental molehill — this one's for you.  Takeaways: Why your body reacts before your brain understands what's happening How to notice when your nervous system is distorting reality Quick tools to calm your body so your thoughts can follow How to "turn on the light" and see the rope for what it is — not a snake "Your nervous system may blow things up to protect you — but you don't have to live inside that storm."
