About this listen

Why do people stay in situations that exhaust them — even when relief is available? This episode explains why the nervous system often chooses predictable discomfort over unfamiliar calm. What looks like self-sabotage is usually the body prioritizing survival over relief. You’ll explore:

why familiar stress feels safer than uncertainty
how conditioned threat responses keep people stuck
why peace can initially feel destabilizing
how small, repeatable experiences of calm retrain the body

Lasting change doesn’t begin with courage or motivation.
It begins when the nervous system learns that safety can be sustained.
