What’s Weighing You Down? The Science of Releasing Stress You’re Storing EP 41

You’ve talked about it in therapy. You’ve journaled. You’ve forgiven. You’ve reframed. But years later, something tiny happens — and your body reacts like it’s all happening again.That’s an “open loop” — an unfinished survival response your mind might have moved on from, but your body hasn’t.In this episode, I share:What open stress + trauma loops are (and how to spot them)Why breathwork is uniquely powerful for closing themMy own story of finally letting go of a 25-year shame loopClient breakthroughs that happened in just one sessionHow closing a loop rewires your nervous system for goodIf you’ve ever felt like you should be over something, but your body still says otherwise — this conversation could be the missing link.Looking for somewhere to have conversations like this?Every Wednesday at 8 PM EST, I host a free community call for women who are sober, alcohol-free, or questioning their relationship with alcohol. We talk about the stuff that comes with choosing to live differently... the rebuilding, the relationships, the identity shifts, the hard days, and figuring out what you actually want your life to look like now.You don't need to have it all figured out, and you don't need to be a certain number of days, months or years alcohol-free. Come listen, share, connect, and be around other women who get it.Join us for free → https://thedeliberateone.com/the-deliberate-community🔁 Ongoing support: The Deliberate Practice — a steady rhythm of nervous system regulation, breathwork, and integration.Explore everything at thedeliberateone.com Connect on Instagram @thedeliberateoneIf this episode supported you, you can buy me a coffee here
