When There's No Bear Chasing You
from Rooted and Renewed: Healing Trauma and Restoring Faith · host Sheila Hochberg
When your body reacts, but nothing around you seems wrong.In this episode of the Rooted & Renewed podcast, I use a simple but powerful analogy, “when there’s no bear chasing you” to explain why the body can stay in a state of stress and activation even when there isn’t an immediate threat.You’ll learn:• Why physical sensations like a racing heart, tight stomach, or feeling on edge aren’t random• How the body is designed to respond to danger, and what happens when it stays in that state• Why these responses can show up daily, not just in stressful moments• The connection between past experiences and present physical reactions• How to begin recognizing what your body is actually doingThis episode is not about fixing or analyzing…It’s about helping you recognize the signals your body has been sending you and understanding why they make sense. Inside the Healing Vault, we go deeper into how to work with these responses and gently help the body begin to settle again.https://www.facebook.com/share/1AtA1MsYNE/https://sheila-hochbergs-team.adalo.com/rooted
