Description: Send us Fan MailIn this episode we walk you through what's actually happening in your brain the moment stress takes over, and why your reactions make complete sense once you understand the system underneath them. I'll show you the five ways your nervous system steps in to protect you and why your thinking brain goes quiet right when you need it most. We'll look at one surprising trigger behind so much of our daily stress, and I'll give you a simple shift that turns a moment of being hijacked into a moment of choice. You'll leave understanding your stress response as a protector rather than an enemy, and that understanding is where resilience begins.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
