Why You Cannot Heal While Your Nervous System Is in Survival Mode

from The Inner Trip: 365 Days with Plant Medicine · host Julie Cyvonne

In this episode of The Inner Trip, we talk about why so many women feel frustrated when rest, breathwork, journaling and self care practices are not creating real relief. I explain why these tools often fail when your nervous system is deeply dysregulated, and how poor vagal tone keeps you stuck in survival mode, even when you are “doing all the right things.”We explore why microdosing can act as the first step in nervous system regulation by helping the body shift out of fight or flight and into rest and digest. I use a simple, relatable metaphor to explain why healing feels impossible when your nervous system capacity is depleted, and why layering more practices on top of dysregulation is not the answer.Share this episode with a friend who feels stuck in survival mode despite doing everything they are told should help.
